What does the price buy?
Standard blue Adventure Sport 42mm
NORQAIN lists a 316L stainless-steel case, ceramic bezel ring, unidirectional rotating bezel, date display at 3 o’clock, luminous hands and indices, and sapphire crystal. Its automatic N08 movement is based on the Sellita SW 200-1, has 26 jewels, and is specified with a 41-hour power reserve. The listed water resistance is 100m. These are manufacturer specifications, not independent test results. See the blue model’s official listing.
Matterhorn Ultraks edition
The Adventure Matterhorn Ultraks reference N1000.08B01.B02 is a distinct version, not simply a strap option: NORQAIN specifies a DLC-coated 316L steel case, double-domed sapphire, and a Matterhorn Ultraks logo on the caseback. The brand also lists 100m water resistance and the N08/Sellita SW 200-1-based movement with a 41-hour reserve. NORQAIN describes it as celebrating the brand’s partnership with the race and its role as Official Timekeeper; that wording is the brand’s statement. See the official Matterhorn Ultraks page.
Rank #2
- Round watch featuring corrugated unidirectional bezel, luminous hands/markers, and magnified date window at 3 o'clock
- 40 mm, Length: 210mm, 23k gold-plated stainless steel case with mineral dial window. Movement Caliber: NH35A
- Japanese automatic movement with analog display
- Gold & Stainless steel tone bracelet with foldover clasp with safety closure
- Water resistant to 200 m (660 ft): In general, suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports, but not scuba diving.
Japan Special Edition
The Adventure Sport JP 42mm is another separate configuration. NORQAIN Japan’s launch announcement describes anthracite and midnight-blue dial options and a polished steel bezel; the product page lists a steel bracelet, 100m water resistance, and a 41-hour power reserve. Do not assume its polished bezel matches the standard blue model’s ceramic bezel. NORQAIN Japan’s product page and its 2024 launch announcement cover this edition.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Will the 42mm case fit your wrist?
Diameter alone does not tell the whole fit story. NORQAIN gives the standard blue model a 42mm diameter, 12.8mm thickness, 50.2mm lug-to-lug length, and 22mm lug width. The 50.2mm length is especially useful to compare against a watch you already wear, but these measurements cannot predict how the watch will sit on every wrist. If possible, try the watch on before buying.

The Matterhorn Ultraks listing gives the same 42mm diameter, 12.8mm thickness, 50.2mm lug-to-lug, and 22mm lug width. Confirm the dimensions of any other reference against its own product page rather than assuming every Adventure variant is identical.

What to check before buying
- Exact reference and finish: distinguish the standard steel-and-ceramic blue model, the DLC-coated Matterhorn Ultraks, and the Japan Special Edition with its polished bezel.
- Strap or bracelet: the standard blue listing shows rubber, Nordura fabric, and steel bracelet configurations at different prices. It does not establish that every strap fits every Adventure reference, so verify compatibility by reference before ordering an extra strap.
- Local total cost: confirm the price, applicable taxes, delivery charges, and stock with the official store or an authorized local dealer. The cited euro and yen listings are market-specific, not a currency-adjusted comparison.
- Warranty terms: the cited standard and Matterhorn product pages display “2 + 1 year” wording associated with NORQAINER Community. Check the applicable local terms and eligibility conditions with NORQAIN before relying on the additional year.
