One Watch in NORQAIN’s Latest 500-Piece Drop Is a Golden Ticket to the Maldives

The Freedom GMT Enjoy Life “Holiday” Limited Edition reimagines the classic GMT complication into a colorful companion inspired by the joy of discovering new destinations. Speaking of the joy of discovery, one watch in the collection conceals a Golden Ticket that will send one lucky owner on a dream holiday for two at the award-winning Ayada Maldives, one of the most sought-after luxury island resorts.

For the 499 owners who don’t luck into a Golden Ticket, there’s still a lot to celebrate: the watch’s travel-themed story unfolds through a range of playful design elements, led by a colorful world map dial and 25 distinctive “Holiday Icons” scattered across the globe, date wheel, and GMT scale.
