NORQAIN, the independent Swiss watchmaker, has introduced a striking new version of its Independence Skeleton Chrono 42mm in a vivid orange tone with a sturdy stainless steel case. At its core beats the high-performance NORQAIN 8K Manufacture Calibre, named after the world’s fourteen highest mountains. The watch captures the brand’s adventurous spirit and its motto, “My Life, My Way,” through both design and engineering. This skeletonized flyback chronograph reveals a complex column wheel mechanism that allows a quick reset and restart with a single press. Since the model’s debut, collectors have been drawn to its open-worked dial, which hints at the mountain peaks that inspire NORQAIN’s identity. The new orange edition enhances this connection with bold colour accents that highlight the intricate movement beneath, creating a sense of depth and energy that feels both modern and distinctly Swiss. Protected by anti-reflective sapphire glass, the dial features a white minute scale on an orange ring, rhodium-plated hands filled with X1 Super-LumiNova, and twin counters for precise timing. Available with either an integrated orange rubber strap or a stainless steel bracelet, the Independence Skeleton Chrono 42mm Orange combines rugged craftsmanship with a touch of daring flair.
