Norqain has expanded its Independence Skeleton collection with two striking new 40mm models, offering slimmer, more refined options than the previous 42mm versions.
The first model comes in classic stainless steel with brushed, polished and sandblasted surfaces, accented by subtle turquoise details. The second takes on a bolder aesthetic with a black DLC-coated case, khaki rubber strap and vibrant orange accents, giving it a stealthier and sportier vibe.
Both versions are powered by the Norqain Caliber NB08S, a mechanical automatic skeleton movement chronometer-certified by COSC. This high-performance movement features 26 rubies, a oscillating weight that’s personalized with the brand’s logo, a 41-hour power reserve, and a balance frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz), ensuring precise timekeeping.
A standout feature of these new models is the transparent mainplate sitting above the anthracite openworked dial, adding depth while housing Norqain’s logo – previously printed on the sapphire crystal of the 42mm versions.
The dials include faceted black-plated indexes and diamond-cut hands filled with white X1 Super-LumiNova® for optimal visibility in low light. The second hand’s tip comes in turquoise on the steel version and orange on the DLC model.
Measuring 40mm in diameter and 12.05mm thick, both models offer 100 meter water resistance and feature double anti-reflective, scratch-proof sapphire crystals on the front and back.
The steel version is priced at $4,490 on a rubber strap, with the matching steel bracelet upping the bill to $4,790.
The DLC-coated model comes on a choice of black or khaki rubber strap, both priced at $4,690.
