They share glacier-inspired dials and gold-colored accents, but differ in movement, size, water resistance and dial color.
Two similar designs, two different kinds of watch
NORQAIN introduced the NEVEREST GMT Glacier Grey & Gold and NEVEREST Glacier Black & Gold together in its 2023 Japan release. Their names and visual treatment are similar, but their functions are not: the Grey & Gold is the travel-time GMT, while the Black & Gold displays time only. The distinction matters if you are choosing a watch to track a second time zone.
| Feature | NEVEREST GMT Glacier Grey & Gold | NEVEREST Glacier Black & Gold |
|---|---|---|
| Function | GMT with jumping local-hour hand | Time only; not a GMT |
| Case diameter | 41 mm | 40 mm |
| Movement | Automatic NN20/2 by Kenissi | Automatic NN20/1 |
| Water resistance | 100 m, per NORQAIN’s 2023 launch release | 200 m, per NORQAIN’s 2023 launch release |
| Dial | Anthracite with gold-colored cracks | Black with gold-colored cracks |
| Launch-era Japanese strap options | Steel bracelet or black rubber | Steel bracelet or black rubber |
The figures in the water-resistance row are from the 2023 Japanese release, which specifies 100 m for the GMT and 200 m for the 40 mm model. Confirm the specifications for the exact regional reference and configuration when buying.
What the 41 mm Grey & Gold GMT offers
The GMT is the more travel-oriented model. Its NN20/2 movement adds a jumping local-hour function, letting the wearer adjust local time in one-hour increments while retaining the reference time. A 24-hour ring distinguishes day from night. NORQAIN lists the movement as COSC-certified, with 28 jewels and a 70-hour power reserve.

What changes on the 40 mm Black & Gold
The Black & Gold is the simpler time-only option. It uses the automatic NN20/1, not the GMT’s NN20/2, and does not provide a second-time-zone display or jumping local-hour hand. NORQAIN’s Japanese release describes a black dial with gold-colored cracks, red-gold-colored hands filled with white X1 Super-LumiNova, and a black ceramic bezel ring.
Other details in that release include a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown with guards and a sapphire caseback. It gives the watch a 70-hour power reserve and 200 m water resistance. The launch references were NN1001SC1CA/BG103/150S on bracelet and NN1001SC1CA/BG103/15BR.18S on black rubber. NORQAIN’s supplied launch information does not establish current international availability or pricing for this 40 mm configuration.
Rank #3
- Quartz GMT Movement - When used in conjunction with the black and blue rotating bezel, the two-blue and white triangle GMT hand can be used to track a second time zone.
