NORQAIN Independence Wild One Skeleton Automatic – N3000.07Q20.B14.R01

The Wild ONE Skeleton 42mm by NORQAIN epitomizes high-performance sports watches through a collaborative effort with Jean-Claude Biver and Swiss suppliers. Crafted from NORTEQ carbon fiber, renowned for its strength and lightness, the watch features a revolutionary shock-absorbing case construction. Its sandblasted titanium container and case back, coupled with a water resistance of 200m, ensure durability and functionality in various environments.

Measuring 42.00mm in diameter and 12.30mm in thickness, with a lug-to-lug distance of 49.40mm, the watch strikes a balance between robustness and wearability. Its scratch-proof sapphire glass, featuring anti-reflective coating and NORQAIN branding, enhances visibility and protection. The screw-down crown, overmolded with black rubber and NORQAIN logo, adds a touch of style and practicality.

The dial showcases an openworked design in black with gecko green accents, complemented by diamond-cut skeleton rhodium-plated indexes. These indexes, along with the hour and minute hands, are filled with gecko green X1 Super-LumiNova, ensuring readability even in low light. The rhodium-plated second hand, featuring a white X1 Super-LumiNova-filled tip, adds a dynamic element to the dial.

Powering the Wild ONE Skeleton 42mm is the NORQAIN Caliber N08S, a COSC-certified mechanical automatic skeleton movement with 26 rubies. Its personalized oscillating weight, boasting a 41-hour power reserve and a balance frequency of 28’800 vibrations per hour, guarantees precision and reliability.

Completing the ensemble is an integrated gecko green rubber strap with a “Milanese” pattern and black edges, secured by a black NORTEQ® pin buckle. This combination of innovative materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and striking design elements makes the Wild ONE Skeleton 42mm a formidable contender in the realm of high-performance sports watches.
