Norqain has unveiled the Freedom GMT Enjoy Life “Holiday” Limited Edition, a vibrant new 40mm stainless steel travel watch that expands the brand’s playful “Enjoy Life” collection.
The reference is designed to celebrate the excitement of exploring new destinations, anchoring its aesthetic around a colorful world map dial rendered in summery shades of orange, pink and turquoise. It’s also the very first in the collection to feature a second time zone function, utilizing the complication as a canvas for travel-inspired storytelling. The multi-colored gradient GMT ring features unique icons replacing traditional hour markers, including a crescent moon at midnight, a coffee cup between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and a cocktail marking “Happy Hour” from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.. The holiday theme continues across the matte white dial, where 24 hand-drawn “Holiday Icons” – such as flip-flops, sunglasses, and beach umbrellas – are scattered across the world map and periodically appear in the 6 o’clock date window. To ensure legibility, the watch utilizes diamond-cut faceted hands filled with white X1 Super-LumiNova.
Powering the travel-ready timepiece is the chronometer-certified Norqain Manufacture Calibre NN20/2 by Kenissi, a mechanical automatic movement that delivers a robust 70-hour power reserve. The GMT hand features a sophisticated jump-hour setting function operated through the screw-down crown, allowing travelers to quickly adjust local time and dates forward or backward without stopping the watch. The movement is visible through an open sapphire crystal case back, decorated with the “Enjoy Life” logo and a “ONE of 500” limited-edition marker. Water-resistant up to 100 meters, the watch arrives in a bespoke aluminum travel case complete with a passport holder and world map insert.
Avaiable through the brand’s official website, the Norqain Freedom GMT Enjoy Life “Holiday” Limited Edition is priced at $6,290 USD on a white rubber strap and $6,490 USD on a stainless steel bracelet. Adding an interactive layer to the release, NORQAIN has hidden a modern-day “Golden Ticket” within one of the 500 limited-edition pieces. The lucky owner who discovers the ticket – a secret that will remain under wraps until September 2026 – will win an all-expenses-paid, six-night luxury escape for two to the award-winning Ayada Maldives resort.
