Norqain, founded in 2018, quickly emerged as a challenger in the mechanical sports watch segment, offering robustness, innovative materials and a distinctive look. Important to the brand's identity, the Wild ONE collection is designed to be worn during physical activity or outdoor adventures without compromise. The new Wild ONE Skeleton
The housing construction is essential. Measuring 41mm in diameter and 11.95mm thick, the architecture is based on a complex assembly of more than 30 components combining Norteq carbon composite, titanium and aluminum. The key innovation is the introduction of X-Lite, a proprietary carbon fiber composite developed jointly with BIWI, used for the case ring to improve lightness and shock absorption. The screw-down crown is covered with yellow rubber, while the caseback has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that reveals the movement. The entire structure is designed to withstand impacts of over 5,000G and is waterproof to 100m. The Norqain sign on the left can be engraved with your short message at an additional cost.
The dial is skeletonized and presented in black with bold yellow accents; it reduces bulk while ensuring good readability. Diamond-cut, faceted, black-plated and openwork hour and minute hands with luminous tips and applied markers with Supe-LumiNova contours ensure visibility.
The Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite is powered by the new Norqain 4K caliber (NBK26/1), developed with AMT. This automatic, COSC-certified movement runs at 28,800 vph and offers a power reserve of 65 hours, an improvement over previous Wild ONE Skeleton models that offered 41 hours of autonomy. The construction is intentionally open, with bridges and a rotor reminiscent of mountain peaks, a recurring theme in the brand's designs.
The watch is offered with two strap options. One is a black and yellow rubber strap with a perforated top; a replaceable ultralight stretch base layer is also available; both are equipped with a Norteq pin buckle. The Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite, limited to 200 pieces, costs 10,650 euros. For more information, visit norqain.com.
