NORQAIN Independence Wild One Hakuna Mipaka Limited Edition Automatic – N3000.07Q17.B24.R01

Crafted for adventurers and conservationists alike, the NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton 42mm Hakuna Mipaka Limited Edition is a bold tribute to wildlife ambassador Dean Schneider and his sanctuary, Hakuna Mipaka. With only 200 pieces available worldwide, this timepiece reflects a rare blend of performance, purpose, and artistic craftsmanship. A portion of proceeds—10% of all sales—is donated directly to support wildlife protection efforts, making each watch a statement of both style and substance.

The skeletonized movement is housed in NORQAIN’s revolutionary NORTEQ case, an ultra-light, shock-resistant structure developed in collaboration with industry icon Jean-Claude Biver. Six times lighter than steel and over three times lighter than titanium, it offers unrivaled durability with the ability to withstand shocks of up to 5000G. The openworked dial reveals the COSC-certified NORQAIN Calibre N08S, boasting a 41-hour power reserve and a mesmerizing view of precision at work.

Adding a distinctive character is the hand-applied safari-patterned rubber strap, inspired by the Hakuna Mipaka oasis. The earthy motifs—triangles, zigzags, and dots—reflect strength, connection, and unity, evoking the spirit of the wild. Subtle Super-LumiNova detailing on the hands and markers ensures readability while complementing the intricate, open design.

With a sandblasted titanium core, a sapphire case back marked “Hakuna Mipaka, ONE of 200,” and a design that marries rugged function with cultural meaning, this is more than a watch—it’s a testament to craftsmanship, conservation, and character.
