The open-worked steel sport watch from Norqain    

Fine finishing and detailing, offering true value. Norqain’s Independence collection welcomes a special skeletonised edition Young and independent Swiss players, Norqain introduce the newest addition to their Independence Collection—a steel model with a skeletonised dial and open-worked movement Founded in 2018, Norqain are a fully-independent, family-owned Swiss watch company located in Nidau (Bienne) in the heart of the Swiss watch industry. Driven by the excitement that comes with exploring the road less travelled, Norqain have three core collections—Adventure, Freedom and Independence—that are exclusively equipped with mechanical automatic movements. In 2020, they introduced two manufacture calibres produced in collaboration with movement manufacturer, Kenissi. Now they have introduced their competitively-priced, high-quality Independence 22 Skeleton in stainless steel—a striking evolution of the sold-out DLC version that they had presented before this. The Independence collection is inspired by the courage it takes to do the unexpected. Norqain’s passion ticks inside every one of its innovative and ultra-robust 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.

Some of the biggest brands in the industry face limitations related to the conglomerates that they are a part of. On the surface, the term ‘independent watchmaker’ refers to a brand that is not owned by any (major) luxury group, such as LVMH, Richemont, or Swatch, to name a few. The Independence collection of Norqain celebrates the independence that comes with not being tied to a larger conglomerate’s financial matters, with the freedom to create and innovate without a whole lot of restrictions. The Independence collection is Norqain’s expression of out-of-the-box thinking. Following their success with the Independence 21 DLC Skeleton, Norqain announced their next addition to the collection with a steel model dubbed the Independence 22 Skeleton. The distinct case form and dial display is a step away from their handsome but robust tool watches we’re used to seeing. The Independence 22 Skeleton stays true to the Independence collection’s ethos, combining the intricate look of a skeletonised dial with the Norqain essence of adventure and durability. Classic and versatile sporty appearance—a steel case at 42mm, water-resistant to 100m The 42mm case of the Norqain Independence 22 is shared with the rest of the brand’s Independence series and offers an angular take on a traditional sports watch format. Just like before, the case features shallow cut-outs along the sides of the lugs, which further compliment the dynamic lines of the watch to provide it with a distinct and modern appearance. While the inaugural skeleton model from last year featured a black DLC coating, the new Norqain Independence 22 skeleton watch includes a stainless steel case with brushed, polished, and sandblasted surfaces that further add dimension to its angular form. Sitting on top of the case is a simple chamfered smooth bezel that complements the lines of the watch and lends itself to a classic and versatile sports watch appearance. An anti-reflective box-shaped sapphire crystal glass protects the dial, while a screw-down sapphire crystal caseback and a signed screw-down crown help provide the Norqain Independence 22 with a fairly significant 100m of water resistance. The skeletonised treatment that showcases the movement inside The single greatest defining feature of the Norqain Independence 22 is its skeletonised aesthetic, and just like most skeleton watches, the Independence 22 foregoes a traditional dial in order to display as much of its internal movement as possible. A black outer chapter ring contains the applied indices that are finished with C1 Super-LuminNova, while the centre remains completely open to showcase the skeletonised movement within. The Norqain brand name is printed on the underside of the sapphire crystal, while minute markings every five minutes are printed along the edges of the Independence 22’s black flange. Keeping consistent with the skeleton theme of the watch are skeletonised hands that are similar to the style that can be found across the rest of the Norqain Independence range. Additionally, just like many of the other models from the Independence collection, including the original limited-edition skeletonised model from last year, the hands-on the Independence 22 are finished with C1 Super-LuminNova for low-light visibility, while the tip of the seconds hand appears in bright red for better contrast and a small dash of colour.

The metallic ruthenium colouring adorned on the movement components give the dial a platinum-esque sheen and provides that extra vibrancy that pops against the steel case and bracelet. The movement on display is Norqain’s calibre NN082, which is a precisely modified Sellita SW200-1. The NN082 boasts a COSC certification promising an accuracy of -4 to +6 seconds per day and is secured within the case using an architectural build method called ‘beam construction’. This technique retains the rugged nature of a Norqain sports watch by providing extra support at each point of structural contact stabilising and adding more shock resistance to the exposed movement. Three-link steel bracelet The Norqain Independence 22 Skeleton comes on the same stainless steel bracelet we’ve seen on the non-skeletonised Independence collection. This three-link bracelet is brushed and polished and comes with a folding clasp. The Independence 22 Skeleton has been produced as an unlimited special edition that starts with 300 pieces.
