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

Specifications:
Ref N1000CO2A/A101
movement: ETA 2824-2, 25 jewels (note later models of this watch have the Sellita)
100 m water resistance with screw down crown
41.5 mm case, bezel outer diameter is 42.4 mm, 50.3 mm L2L, 12.8 mm thickness, 22 mm lug spacing, strap tapers down to 19 mm, with on-the-fly adjustable clasp.
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
blue dial and blue 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, 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. You don't find this quality level with brands like Hamilton, Oris, Longines (except for the new Spirit models).
very good, c1 Superlumina, long-lasting blue lume on hour, minute hands, near tip of second hand, hour markers, and bezel pip
I must say the hour markers are really well executed.
Norqain is a new brand created by people from Breitling.

Condition:
There's one shallow scratch on the top left outside lug.
Otherwise I can only find some small hairline scratches on the high polish lug edges, a few on the caseback, everything else on the case looks like new condition
The ceramic bezel has picked up some scuffs and very light scratches which I tried to show in photos
very light scratching on clasp
AR coating in perfect condition
modern movement is keeping excellent time: while wearing it averages to +2.6 s/day

Included with watch: outer box, inner box, manual,

I'm asking $1100 + shipping.

I'm not a frequent seller but I have accumulated good references here on CWC.

Feel free to message me with any questions and for more photos if needed.
