Family-owned Swiss producer Norqain makes adventure a priority, as can be seen in the double N’s of their logo, which symbolizes a mountaintop. Their three collections, Adventure, Freedom, and Independence, showcase mechanical movements and a restless spirit to explore and innovate. 

In a highly limited edition, only 85 of these Stan the Man watches were produced by Norqain. As a moving and aesthetically appropriate tribute to tennis icon Stan Wawrinka, the timepiece draws inspiration from the tennis world that results in bold, utterly unique stylings that will surely serve as a conversation piece. 

Wawrinka was born in 1985, hence the number of the limited production run. Six times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than titanium, the case is composed of a trademarked NORTEQ carbon fibre cage with a tennis-themed yellow / green rubber shock absorber with a sandblasted titanium container and exhibition case back. You’ll find the measurements quite comfortable at 42 mm in diameter and 12.3 mm in height. 

In keeping with the theme, the case plate on the left of the watch is infused with tennis ball fiber while the black rubber of the strap references a tennis net.

The fascinating skeletonized dial sports a center red-tipped seconds arm as well as applied diamond-cut flat rhodium-plated skeletonized SuperLumiNova-filled yellow / green indexes and similarly fashioned hands.

By way of the skeleton dial and exhibition caseback we can check out the chronometer-certified NN08S manufacture movement, which beats at 28,800 vph, possesses 26 jewels, and has a 41-hour power reserve.

Additional features include a protected screw-down winding crown, a 200 m / 20 atm water resistance, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. 

As a celebration of tennis icon Stan Wawrinka, this unique timepiece will surely make an invaluable addition to your collection.
