DESCRIPTION

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.
