42mm stainless steel case, automatic COSC certified Chronometer movement, skeleton dial with blue accents.
The Independence family is inspired by the courage it takes to do the unexpected. NORQAIN’s passion ticks inside every one of its exclusive and innovative Independence timepieces – the new skeletonised model is no exception. These watches are designed for the explorer who feels most at home in the “my life, my way” ethos while confidently pursuing their passion.
A sign of NORQAIN’s watchmaking craftsmanship, the Independence model’s skeletonised Sellita movement is based on the architecture principles of beam construction: each support point is held by at least two arms. Wearers and admirers can enjoy a stunning view of the robust and shock-resistant movement and blue openwork dial through the sapphire glass on both sides of the stainless steel case. The 42mm case features three different finishes – brushed, polished and sandblasted. The central hour, minute and seconds hands are coloured with a vibrant blue lacquer. It is available on a steel bracelet with on-the-fly micro-adjustment or on an animal cruelty-free rubber strap.
Building on the immediate success of the Independence Skeleton models presented in 2020 and 2021, we’re excited to introduce this new version in ocean blue with lacquered hands. This timepiece is powered by the COSC-certified calibre NN08S and features the customisable NORQAIN Plate on the side of the stainless steel case. This model is available on an integrated steel bracelet with on-the-fly micro-adjustment of 9mm or an integrated animal cruelty-free blue rubber strap with “Milanese” pattern developed by our partner BIWI Sa.
As part of the launch of these five new models, we are also introducing our first micro-adjustment bracelet – a stainless steel bracelet that can be shortened by 9mm on the fly. This micro-adjustment can be done on the clasp without any tools. This is ideal for NORQAIN wearers who, for example, want the bracelet to fit tighter or looser during sporting activities. The design of the steel bracelet is similar to our existing metal bracelet, however the links are now fully brushed. This bracelet is available with these five new references and will also be rolled out in other collections with upcoming launches in 2023.
