Rio Matsumoto becomes the first Japanese female Norqeiner. Two new ladies' watches, the "Adventure Sport 37mm," are also announced.

Norqain has signed a contract with actress and yoga instructor Rio Matsumoto as the first female Japanese Norqainer (ambassador), and at the same time announced two new ladies' watches, the Adventure Sport 37mm.

Rio Matsumoto, the first Japanese woman to be appointed Norqi-ner

　Rio Matsumoto, who pursued a career as an actress in her teens and gained attention in numerous dramas, decided to pursue yoga in order to find her true self. She focuses on her breathing in yoga, and as the breath flows through her body, she feels a return to her true self. She says, "If you take the plunge and push forward with your own strength, you will develop a sense of responsibility for yourself. This will give you the confidence to pursue your dreams." As an instructor, Matsumoto not only teaches yoga techniques, but also speaks to many people about the importance of finding what you love in life and shining the light of who you are right now.

"Adventure Sports 37mm"

　Two new models have been added to the Adventure Sport 37mm collection for aggressive women. Available in two dial colors, white and green, both feature the NORQAIN pattern, which is based on the mountain peak that is the NORQAIN logo. The knurled bezel of the white model is made of 18K red gold and ceramic, while the green model features an aluminum ring. This creates a subtle sense of luxury while expressing the beauty of an independent woman. Powered by the NORQAIN Caliber NN08, the watch features a sapphire crystal caseback, allowing visitors to admire the beautiful heartbeat of this Swiss mechanical timepiece.
