NORQAIN Freedom GMT Enjoy Life “Holiday” Limited Edition: A Playful Passport To Travel

A colourful 40mm GMT limited to 500 pieces, with a hidden Golden Ticket surprise.

The NORQAIN Freedom GMT Enjoy Life “Holiday” Limited Edition is NORQAIN’s celebration of travel, discovery and unforgettable memories. Limited to just 500 pieces, it reimagines the classic GMT complication as a colourful companion inspired by the joy of exploring new destinations.

From the first glance, the watch feels like a passport to the world. Its white dial carries a vibrant world map in shades of orange, pink and turquoise, while hand-drawn Holiday Icons and a lifestyle-inspired GMT ring turn the display into a playful travel scene.

A GMT Built Around Holiday Spirit

Rather than presenting the GMT function as a purely technical tool, NORQAIN gives it a more emotional and lifestyle-driven role. The ring around the dial marks moments such as coffee time, sleep and Happy Hour, turning time zone tracking into something more personal and intuitive.

The jumping-hour function reinforces that sense of effortless travel. Together with the colourful dial and the decorative GMT ring, it makes the watch feel like a companion for movement, spontaneity and new experiences.

Dial Details And Hidden Icons

The dial is the centrepiece of the watch. The world map is rendered in bright, summery tones that create an immediate sense of adventure, while the 25 hand-drawn Holiday Icons add a sense of discovery around the globe.

Diamond-cut flat indexes are rhodium-plated and filled with white Super-LumiNova® markers, ensuring strong legibility while keeping the look crisp. The diamond-cut faceted hour and minute hands are also rhodium-plated and filled with white X1 Super-LumiNova®, while the diamond-cut flat central seconds counter is rhodium-plated and the diamond-cut flat GMT hand is rhodium-plated with a turquoise tip.

At 6 o’clock, the date display becomes part of the theme as well. Every seven days, the disc reveals one of five playful summer-inspired icons: flip-flops, sunglasses, a beach umbrella, swim trunks or a bikini. It is a small detail, but it gives the watch an unmistakably light-hearted personality.

The multi-coloured gradient GMT ring adds another layer of storytelling. Beyond tracking a second time zone, it uses lifestyle icons to mark moments such as morning coffee, sleep and Happy Hour, reinforcing the holiday theme.

The Golden Ticket Surprise

Among the 500 watches, one hides a Golden Ticket. That special piece grants its owner a NORQAIN Escape for two at the Ayada Maldives Resort, including a week-long stay and six nights in an Ocean Villa on a Full Board basis.

The exact way the winning owner will discover the ticket remains secret until September. That sense of mystery adds another layer to the watch, turning the purchase into a possible journey before the first trip even begins.

Case, Movement And Strap

The watch comes in a 316L stainless steel case measuring 40 mm in diameter, 14.5 mm in thickness, and 49.3 mm lug to lug, with 20 mm lug width. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres, and the watch is fitted with a double anti-reflective box-shaped sapphire crystal.

An open caseback with scratchproof flat sapphire crystal carries the “Enjoy Life” logo and the “ONE of 500” limited-edition marking. On the left side of the case, an engraved 316L stainless steel NORQAIN plate adds another distinctive touch.

Inside beats the NORQAIN Manufacture NN20/2 by Kenissi, a mechanical automatic movement with a second time zone and jumping hour feature that makes it easy to set local time and change the date forward and backward. It is COSC chronometer-certified, runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, contains 28 rubies, and offers a 70-hour power reserve. A personalised bridge displays NORQAIN’s core values — “Adventure – Freedom – Independence” — while a personalised NORQAIN oscillating weight completes the movement’s identity.

The Freedom GMT Enjoy Life “Holiday” Limited Edition is offered with a Steel Freedom bracelet and a White Rubber Freedom strap option. The presentation box continues the travel theme, including an aluminium travel case, passport holder, world map insert and a tin box of pins.
