Introducing Norqain Introduces the Wild One Skeleton: A Fusion of Style and Performance

Blend of Artistry and Precision: Norqain Embraces the Spirit of Adventure"

Norqain, the Swiss watch brand that has swiftly gained market dominance in just a few years, continues to push boundaries with its latest release, the Norqain WILD ONE SKELETON. This new timepiece combines elements from the popular Independence Wild One and Independence Skeleton watches, resulting in a captivating and technically advanced sports watch. Let's dive into the details of this remarkable timepiece that blends style, innovation, and functionality.

The Norqain WILD ONE SKELETON is presented in two striking and vibrant summer colors: bright turquoise and warm burgundy. Both versions offer a refreshing take on the modern sports watch aesthetic, attracting watch enthusiasts seeking contemporary designs with bold accents.

At the helm of Norqain is CEO Ben Kuffer, who benefits from the guidance of industry heavyweight Jean-Claude Biver. This collaboration has proven fruitful in the creation of Norqain's previous success, the Independence Wild One. Building on that achievement, the WILD ONE SKELETON showcases a lighter and more resistant case construction, made possible by Norteq—a super-light and ultra-resistant carbon fiber composite developed by Norqain.

Weighing a mere 78 grams, the WILD ONE SKELETON offers exceptional wearability and comfort. This lightweight design is achieved by combining the skeletonized movement of the Independence Skeleton with the high-performance Wild One case. The result is a watch that not only catches the eye but also delivers on durability and functionality, making it suitable for active individuals and extreme sports enthusiasts.

The Turquoise and Burgundy models feature a 42mm marbled-effect Norteq case, which adds a distinctive touch to the timepiece. The shock-absorbing case construction consists of 25 parts and is capable of withstanding up to 5000g, ensuring robustness even in demanding conditions. The carbon fiber composite material used in the case allows for different color options, providing further customization possibilities.

The Turquoise model boasts vibrant turquoise rubber accents on the left lateral shock absorber, crown guards, rubber seals, and a matching rubber strap with a black border. In contrast, the Burgundy model, limited to 300 pieces, exhibits a stunning burgundy-colored marbled Norteq cage with black rubber shock absorbers, crown guards, rubber seals, and strap. Both models feature the signature Norqain plaque on the left side of the case, serving as a mark of distinction and authenticity.

The dials of the WILD ONE SKELETON models offer a captivating display. Both versions feature applied and luminous indices suspended over the peripheral chapter ring, which includes five-minute markings. In the Burgundy model, the skeletonized red gold-plated indices and hands, filled with white Super-LumiNova, provide a striking contrast. Conversely, the Turquoise model showcases silver indices and hands, accentuated with turquoise Super-LumiNova. The central seconds hand, with its arrow-shaped tip filled with lume, adds a touch of sportiness to the dial.

Powering the Norqain WILD ONE SKELETON is the brand's proprietary skeletonized NN08S movement, based on the reliable Sellita SW 200-1S. This COSC-certified movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring precise timekeeping. With a power reserve of 41 hours and a personalized Norqain rotor visible through sapphire crystals on both sides of the case, the WILD ONE SKELETON combines aesthetics and performance in perfect harmony.

Limited in quantity, the Norqain WILD ONE SKELETON offers exclusivity to its owners. The Burgundy model, limited to 300 pieces, is priced at CHF 5,450, while the Turquoise model joins the Independence collection and retails for CHF 5,250. These timepieces not only cater to watch enthusiasts but also serve as a testament to Norqain's commitment to delivering robust, high-performance watches that stand out from the crowd.

In conclusion, Norqain's new WILD ONE SKELETON collection brings together the best elements from their Independence Wild One and Independence Skeleton watches. With its lightweight construction, vibrant color options, and robust features, this timepiece captures the spirit of contemporary sports watches while offering a distinctive and technically advanced design. Norqain continues to impress watch enthusiasts and collectors with their commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, solidifying their position as a brand to watch in the industry.
