Depending on her age/musical taste, the color purple from Jimi Hendrix or “Purple Rain” from Prince can cause memories of “Purple Haze”, but whatever a song comes to mind is the undeniable fact that purple is a brave, meaningful color. As a brand that has never been shy, it is fitting that Norqain called his aptly called Wild One Skeleton for a powerful purple revision.
In 2018, CEO Ben Kuffer had a flying start with Norqain, thanks to the heavyweight rackets in the brand's consulting committee. His dream of creating the “ultimate sports guard”, thanks to the industrial veterans Jean-Claude Biver, which gave itself an invaluable support in the development of the Wild One in the development of Wild One, a hyper-performance clock with a cage of super-resolving Norteq coal fiber.
The carbon fiber cage is packed on the extremities of the housing, a rubber shock absorber and a titanium container to protect the movement. In connection with the external side bumpers, the watch can swallow. Norteq is six times lighter than steel and 3.5 -lighter than titanium and keeps the weight of the watch on a minimum. The hyper-resilant, yet light housing and the skeletonized movement weigh only 78 grams.
The wild skeleton grabs a blow in his new purple and black suit. With a diameter of 42 mm and a height of 12.3 mm, the matt black Norteq cage is the complex 25 component housing, including the purple rubber shock absorber and the sandblasted titanium container. Lila dominates the landscape and appears on the purple rubber ring, which calls the bezel and rubber belt with its purple mesh insert. The exhibition crown protected by the purple rubber guards is covered in black rubber. The case is watery at 200 meters and is tested to withstand shocks up to 5,000 g. As with all Norqain models, the plate can be adjusted on the left side of the housing.
The matt black skeleton bridges on the dial reveal the open automatic movement. The printed digits and markings on the sloping route and the flange are selected in light purple planting. The tips of the FACEED Diamond Kut indices attached to the flange and the hands have light violet super luminova inserts. By completing the picture, the central second hand is outlined in purple and filled with white SLN.
