Norqain Freedom 60 Chrono 40mm

Norqain brings the charm and warmth of Toscana to its vintage Freedom 60 Chrono sports watch line with a trio of bright, colourful dials.

NORQAIN introduces three new expressions of the Freedom 60 Chrono 40mm, the independent, family-owned Swiss watch company’s vintage sports watch designed for today’s multi-generational adventures. The new models are inspired by la dolce vita and defined by their pastel dials: one in Sky Blue, another in Pistachio and a special limited-edition in Peach.

Each has a 40mm stainless steel case and a colourful, highcontrast dial design that creates a vibrant aesthetic and a clear, legible readout. The Sky Blue model has a sunrayfinished dial with contrasting dark blue sub-counters and a white-out tachymeter scale on a dark blue outer ring. The Pistachio and Peach models also feature sunrayfinished dials, but with black sub-counters and a whiteout tachymeter scale on a black outer ring.

All three watches can be personalised with a choice of a stainless steel bracelet, or animal cruelty-free straps in either black Perlon rubber, or grey or ivory NORTIDE linen straps made using upcycled ocean-bound plastic produced with our Swiss partner #tide.

The Freedom 60 Chrono 40mm Peach Limited Edition will be limited to just 300 pieces, each printed with “ONE of 300”. The Sky Blue and Pistachio editions are not limited.

The collection is powered by the automatic NORQAIN calibre N19, delivering chronograph and date functions, along with a robust 62-hour power reserve. Each piece features quality signifiers such as a screw-down crown, vintage pump-style chronograph pushers, a sapphire crystal case back, water resistance to 100 metres, and a customisable NORQAIN plate on the case’s left flank.

The new Freedom 60 Chrono 40mm collection captures NORQAIN’s ‘my life, my way’ philosophy. Each bright, confident design carries a warm, joyful echo of summer adventures spent hiking, sailing and swimming in the Italian Mediterranean. They’re designed to motivate and inspire wearers to stride into the summer season with an extra spring in their step. That spirit will be shared with visitors to Watches and Wonders Geneva in a few days’ time.
