Norqain - Freedom 60 Chronograph 40 mm

Norqain presented the Freedom 60 Chronograph 40mm, a reduced version of one of its best sellers. Blue or anthracite. Prices starting from CHF3,630

One of Norqain's bestselling timepiece, the Freedom 60 Chronograph, is now available in a smaller 40 mm case size that will look perfect on any wrist, both female and male.

Offering water resistance to 100 metres / 330 feet, the new Freedom 60 Chronograph 40 mm is crafted from 316L stainless steel with an alternation of satin-brushed and polished surfaces to highlight its lines.

On the right side, we have the classic two chronograph pushers (start and stop at 2 o'clock, reset at 4 o'clock) and the large screwed crown.  On the left side, just like in its bigger 43 mm "brother" (you can read our review here), we find a polished plate with the Norqain logo. This plate can optionally be engraved with your name or a personal message.

The total thickness, including the double anti-reflective and scratch-proof box-type sapphire crystal, is 14.9 mm, still well balanced with the reduced diameter. 

The "reverse panda" dial is available in royal blue or anthracite. The two-layer structure - with the  coloured dial placed on top of a white disc - makes the two colours really stand out from the three counters at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock.

The Old Radium Super-LumiNova coating used for the hour markers and the faceted hands enhances the vintage style of this timepiece.

Showcased through the sapphire crystal transparent caseback, the self-winding Norqain Calibre NN18 is based on a highly reliable ETA 7753, an excellent chronograph mechanism with cams and a 3-6-9 dial layout that is uusually more appreciated than the 6-9-12 layout used by the ETA 7750.

Together with a new case size and new dials, Norqain is also introducing two additional options for watch straps made with recycled materials, in line with the commitment that the brand made in 2021 to phase out all leather straps in its collection. 

The prices of the new Norqain Freedom 60 Chronograph 40 mm are CHF 3,890 with stainless steel bracelet, CHF 3,790 with Perlon rubber strap, and CHF 3,630 with either one of the two new options, the Alcantara strap and the ivory coloured #tide ocean SA “Nortide” strap. norqain.com
