NORQAIN Freedom 60 Chrono Watch Review
Born of minds deeply established in the Swiss watch industry, NORQAIN is a still fresh luxury timepiece maker intent on offering the market both the product and personality its founders feel are wanted by consumers. One of the brand’s first “hero watches” is the NORQAIN Freedom 60 Chrono reference N2200, which is a modern take on a traditional sports chronograph.

Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Watch
For the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing mission, Omega has remade a classic 18k-gold Speedmaster with onyx hour markers and a burgundy-hued bezel. The Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition is a richly priced and outfitted luxury Speedmaster with a good historical narrative and a fresh new Omega in-house movement. Omega uses its brand new caliber 3861 manually wound movement, something collectors have been eager to receive for a while.

Most important about the 3861 movement is that it uses anti-magnetic parts that enable it to pass Omega’ METAS certification.
