Norqain Freedom 60 Chrono “Enjoy Life”: A Call to Slow Down and Savor Time

Norqain’s latest release isn’t just another retro-styled chronograph. The Freedom 60 Chrono “Enjoy Life” Special Edition is a deeply personal, thoughtfully executed timepiece that embodies the spirit of living fully — a philosophy etched not just into its case, but into its very conception. More than a commemorative edition, it’s a meaningful tribute that invites watch lovers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters.

An Independent Brand with Purpose and Identity

Founded in 2018 and still proudly family-owned, Norqain has carved a unique space in the crowded Swiss watch landscape. Positioned as a modern, independent alternative to heritage brands, Norqain blends traditional Swiss craftsmanship with youthful energy. Its Freedom 60 line channels vintage design codes with a contemporary sensibility — field watches and chronographs with warmth, texture, and a clear sense of narrative.

The “Enjoy Life” Chrono is part of this collection, but stands apart. Created in memory of Norqain’s late board member and mentor Mark Streit’s daughter, this special edition gives tangible form to a profound message: life is precious, and time should be enjoyed, not merely measured.

Technical Execution Rooted in Substance

At 40mm in diameter and crafted from brushed and polished stainless steel, the case balances presence and restraint. The rich forest green dial, inspired by the tranquility of nature, features a bi-compax layout, with the running seconds at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute totalizer at 3. A date window subtly integrates at 6 o’clock, keeping the dial clean and symmetrical.

The chronograph is powered by the Norqain Calibre NN19, an automatic movement based on the reliable Sellita SW510, offering 62 hours of power reserve and a robust 4 Hz beat rate. Behind the sapphire caseback, the rotor bears the engraving “Enjoy Life,” as does the personalizable side plate on the left flank of the case — a now-signature Norqain touch.

A domed box-style sapphire crystal reinforces the vintage look, while 100 meters of water resistance and a tapered stainless steel bracelet ensure this watch is ready for real-life wear.

Refined Style for a Life Well-Lived

This is a chronograph for those who appreciate nuance. The vintage cues — syringe hands, curved lugs, box crystal — are never pastiche. Instead, they serve a timeless aesthetic that appeals to collectors and design lovers alike. Whether paired with a leather strap or its integrated bracelet, the Freedom 60 Chrono “Enjoy Life” fits effortlessly in both casual and dressier settings.

It speaks to those who value authenticity, both in watchmaking and in life. Not driven by trends, this piece is about emotional connection, personal meaning, and a shared mindset with the Norqain community. The green dial is calming, the typography elegant, and the proportions just right — it feels like a watch made for the present moment.

Probably limited in Number, Rich in Meaning

Priced at $5,050 USD on rubber and$5,190 USD on stainless-steel bracelet, the Norqain Freedom 60 Chrono “Enjoy Life” is not limited but may not last long in the brand’s catalog. It is available now through Norqain’s website and authorized retailers.

More than just a beautiful chronograph, this watch is a reminder — engraved on metal, worn on the wrist — to live deliberately, appreciate time, and, in Norqain’s own words, enjoy life. And after all, isn’t that why we love watches in the first place? If summer-inspired watches are your thing, you will probably love Baltic’s latest release !
