NORQAIN has set a new milestone to kick off October by presenting three new versions of its iconic high-performance sports watch, the Wild ONE.
In a move that redefines watchmaking standards, the brand incorporates a Grade 5 titanium top plate into this range for the first time, giving the collection an unmistakable and refined metallic character that catches and reflects the light with every movement.
The designers at the Nidau-based brand meticulously selected Grade 5 titanium for its exceptional technical properties: it is approximately 45% lighter than steel, extremely robust, and features superior corrosion resistance.
To celebrate this evolution, the brand has unveiled three new models that explore unparalleled textures, colors, and cosmic materials, making each creation a truly unique piece.
Wild ONE Skeleton Titanium 39 mm Limited Edition: exclusivity to reach the mountain peak
This edition, limited to just 400 pieces worldwide, features a sophisticated palette in soft gray tones that pays homage to the technical character of titanium.
The design incorporates a gray rubber shock absorber and a matching Milanese-pattern strap, masterfully contrasting with the overmolded crown and the caseback made of black NORTEQ®. To ensure optimal legibility, the dial features light yellow details and yellow Super-LumiNova.
Inside, visible through the flat, scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, beats the Manufacture Calibre 4K (NK26/1). This COSC-certified skeletonized automatic movement offers a 65-hour power reserve. True to its Swiss Alps heritage, the bridges and the oscillating weight evoke the shape of a mountain peak, elevating the experience to its highest level.
Wild ONE Skeleton Titanium 42 mm: transformative energy in mint green
Sharing the same mechanical heart and architectural innovation, the 42 mm version opts for a vibrant approach by integrating the color mint green.
This fresh tone is deployed across the rubber shock absorber, the strap, the dial indices, and the Super-LumiNova details, injecting the watch with an extraordinary sense of energy and visual lightness.
A fascinating detail for watch lovers in both Skeleton models is that the NORQAIN logo has been strategically repositioned on the outer dial ring, allowing the beauty and complexity of the internal mechanics to be admired without interruption.
Furthermore, both watches exhibit the distinctive NORQAIN Plate on the left side of the case, now also sculpted from the innovation behind these novelties: Grade 5 titanium.
Wild ONE Meteorite Titanium: the watch that plays with the notion of time
Elevating the notion of time to a cosmic scale, NORQAIN presents this dazzling special edition featuring a dial crafted from a thin slice of iron meteorite discovered in northern Sweden.
The interlocking nickel and iron crystals generate the characteristic Widmanstätten geometric pattern, formed over billions of years in space, ensuring that no two dials in the world are identical.
The hands and indices are coated with white X1 Super-LumiNova to glow in the deepest darkness, while the caseback is engraved with the distinctive words Special Edition, Meteorite. This space-inspired work of art is powered by the NORQAIN NN20/1 manufacture calibre, produced by Kenissi, a COSC chronometer with an impressive 70-hour power reserve and a bridge engraved with the brand's core values.
Ben Küffer, founder and CEO of NORQAIN, highlights the spirit of these launches: "The Wild ONE has always been about pushing the limits of what a high-performance mechanical watch can be. [...] Incorporating Grade 5 titanium into its construction is the natural next step."
For all these reasons, NORQAIN reaffirms with this collection its position as one of the most dynamic Swiss manufacturers, perfectly combining traditional craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and a unique design that makes each piece the perfect starting point for any adventure.
You can discover all the NORQAIN models at the Joyería Suiza boutique and make one of these watches a part of your own story.
