Up for sale: current model Norqain Adventure Sport , automatic, 42 mm, black dial, black ceramic rotatable bezel, with date
a very attractive thin-case diver.

I'm asking $1600 + shipping obo. The current list price is $3395.

Description:
The case is mostly brush-finished, with thin high polish lug edges, well executed
Given the domed sapphire the case is quite thin, the lugs turn down and wrap around the wrist making the watch very comfortable
-black dial and black bezel
The dial face has a unique texture, plays with the light nicely. I tried to capture this effect in the various photos.
The hands and hour markers are faceted and highly reflective, adding significantly to the wrist presence. The watch is eye-catching for sure.
60 click (knurled) bezel action is excellent, no backplay, super tight, aligned properly
nicely domed sapphire crystal, double domed, with excellent AR inside and out. There's no blue tint. This sapphire and optics is as good as Omega.
I must say the hour markers are really well executed with a gleaming effect.
The watch was initially purchased (not by me) September, 2020. The 2 year warranty has lapsed.
Norqain is a relatively new brand created by people from Breitling.

Condition:
The stainless steel case is in excellent condition with very little wear. The Norqain side plate at across from the crown side has taken the brunt of the damage which is very light scratching that I need a loupe to see. Also of note is some minor scratching on the lower right lug right where the strap change tool might go. The brushing may some some very light wear but I can't see it.
The rubber strap is unworn, while the steel strap has picked up some very light wear visible on the polished center links. The clasp has picked up some slightly heavier scratching on the polished part.
The ceramic bezel looks to be in like-new condition.
The AR coating on the outside of the domed sapphire is in perfect condition
The movement is keeping excellent time: while wearing it averages to +5.5 s/day

Specifications:
Ref N1000CO1A/B101
movement: SW 200-1, 26 jewels, with signed rotor
100 m water resistance with signed screw down crown
