Meet the Swiss watch that could literally take you around the world
NORQAIN Limited-Edition Travel GMT Watch
This limited-edition NORQAIN GMT watch isn’t just about telling time—it’s about telling a story. Designed for travel lovers, it features a world map dial complete with playful global icons, a GMT scale for tracking multiple time zones and a COSC-certified automatic movement for precision you can trust.
What truly sets it apart? Only 500 watches exist, and one contains a hidden detail that will unlock a luxury Maldives vacation for two—including flights and a six-night stay in an overwater villa.
At its core, this is a fully functional Swiss-made GMT watch, meaning it tracks two time zones at once—perfect for frequent travelers or anyone with global connections. But beyond the mechanics, the storytelling is what sets it apart.
- Only 500 pieces worldwide
- One mystery watch with a hidden feature
- The chance to win a Maldives escape for two
That combination taps into something bigger than a product—it creates a moment.
Every travel-inspired detail of this launch leans into wanderlust
Instead of traditional packaging, the watch arrives in a luggage-style aluminum case, immediately setting the tone for adventure. Inside the case, you’ll find:
- A passport holder, reinforcing the travel theme
- A world map display inspired by the watch face
- A set of pins to map out past trips—or plan future ones
And then there’s the dial itself: a detailed world map with gradient shades of orange, pink and turquoise, giving the watch a personality that feels more personal than typical luxury pieces.
24 playful “Holiday Icons”
Scattered across the dial, GMT ring and date window are hand-drawn icons representing global travel and vacation life—from iconic landmarks to fun seasonal details like:
- Sunglasses
- Flip-flops
- Beach umbrellas
- Swimwear
Even the GMT ring tells a story of a perfect day:
- Midnight: crescent moon
- Morning: coffee
- Daytime: bright sun
- Late afternoon: “Happy Hour” cocktail
It’s a watch that feels less like a traditional luxury piece—and more like a visual travel diary.

What's at stake? A Maldives prize
One buyer will unknowingly purchase the watch that unlocks a fully paid luxury trip for two to the Ayada Maldives resort:
- Round-trip flights for two
- Six-night stay in an Ocean Villa at the renowned Ayada Maldives resort
- Full-board dining included (breakfast, lunch and dinner included)
- Access to one of the Indian Ocean’s most sought-after luxury island resorts
The twist? The winning watch won’t be revealed until September—so buyers won’t know if they’ve won until later, adding a layer of anticipation (and major buzz potential).
