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.

Designed in collaboration with luxury-watch guru Jean-Claude Biver, this stunning and brilliantly rendered Wild ONE makes a bold statement with eye-catching, singular stylings.

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 turquoise rubber shock absorber with a sandblasted titanium container and case back. You’ll find the measurements most comfortable at 42 mm in diameter and 12.3 mm in height.

The vibrant open-dial design sports diamond-cut flat skeleton applied indexes, with turquoise X1 Superluminova spots. The diamond-cut faceted hour and minute hands are easy to read with turquoise X1 Superluminova-filled tips. To round things out, the diamond-cut flat second hand, which is rhodium plated, gives us a white X1 Superluminova-filled tip, with a dashing turquoise outline.

By way of the open dial and exhibition caseback we can see the self-winding automatic manufacture Norqain NO8S movement in action. This dependable COSC-certified chronometer beats at 28,800 vph, has 26 jewels, and offers 41 hours of power.

Additional features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a terrific 200 m / 20 atm water resistance, and a screw-down winding crown over-molded with black rubber and the Norqain logo. The fashionable black-edged turquoise rubber strap with an attractive Milanese pattern possesses a prong buckle.
