With the new Independence Skeleton Titanium, Norqain gives one of its most distinctive sports watches an uncompromising new look. For the first time, the skeletonized model comes in a grade-5 titanium case finished entirely in black DLC. The combination creates a striking contrast: at just 82 grams, the watch is remarkably light on the wrist, while its black surface gives it a bold, technical presence. The open-worked dial further emphasizes the lightweight construction while offering an unobstructed view of the mechanical movement beneath.

An Unobstructed View of COSC-Certified Precision

At the heart of the Independence Skeleton Titanium is the skeletonized NB08S, a movement produced by Sellita specifically for Norqain. The caliber is a COSC-certified chronometer, attesting to its high level of precision and reliability. Its open-worked architecture reveals the bridges, wheels, barrel and other components, creating a layered view of the intriguing mechanical workings. The NB08S provides a 41-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The skeletonized Norqain rotor is visible through the sapphire crystal case back, extending the open-worked design to the back of the watch.

Against the black dial, red-gold-colored, faceted hour markers and partially skeletonized hour and minute hands provide a refined contrast. White Superluminova ensures clear legibility in low-light conditions, while the central seconds hand with its red tip and the minute track printed on the flange complete the technical design.

Lightweight Titanium in an All-black Finish

Measuring 42mm in diameter and 11.8mm thick, the Grade 5 titanium case is water-resistant to 100 meters. Its black DLC coating reinforces the all-black aesthetic while adding further durability to the lightweight construction. A signature Norqain plaque is engraved into the left side of the case. The Independence Skeleton Titanium is priced at $5,820 on a black rubber strap with a black DLC-coated titanium pin buckle. With a black DLC-coated titanium folding clasp, the price is $6,250.
