Norqain announces the Independence Skeleton Chrono 42 mm

Norqain unveils the Independence Skeleton Chrono 42mm, a skeletonised flyback chronograph powered by the new 8K manufacture movement. From €5,700
Norqain has unveiled the Independence Skeleton Chrono 42 mm, a skeletonised flyback chronograph powered by a new proprietary movement developed in partnership with the Manufacture AMT, a division of Sellita that handles higher-end and bespoke movements

Norqain Independence Skeleton Chrono 42 mm

Inspired by the world’s tallest mountains, known as the "Eight-Thousanders" (14 peaks over 8,000 meters), the Norqain 8K Manufacture Calibre (NK24/1) is a 4 Hz flyback chronograph movement. It allows for a quick reset and restart with a single button press—originally a feature for pilots, now widely used in sports. 

Key highlights include a column wheel for precise chronograph activation, a 62-hour power reserve, and COSC chronometer certification (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres).

Protected by a double anti-reflective, scratch-resistant flat sapphire glass, the dial of the Independence Skeleton Chrono 42 mm features a central chronograph seconds hand and a twin-counter layout with a 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock and a running seconds counter at 6 o’clock.

The skeletonized design of the Norqain 8K reveals the intricate mechanics by removing parts of the dial and movement, creating a striking three-dimensional effect. Polished and sandblasted finishes enhance the design, while cutaway segments forming a mountain motif and engraved Norqain logos on the movement emphasize the brand’s connection to the mountains.

The three-dimensional effect continues on the watch’s reverse, thanks to a transparent sapphire crystal case back.
