Norqain Wild ONE Khaki

The Wild ONE, made with our proprietary, ultra-robust, and ultra-light NORTEQ® carbon fibre material, is the ultimate high-performance sports watch. Six times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than titanium this Wild ONE has been designed in collaboration with Jean-Claude Biver, the NORQAIN team and the best Swiss suppliers.

The watches’ robustness and shock resistance are proven by withstanding tests at 5’000 g. It can handle extreme shocks and bumps like when the wearer rides a mountain bike, skis an exhilarating downhill slope, or runs an ambitious trail.

The three-level laser-cut dial features an intricate mandala-like pattern of our mountain-inspired double-N logo. Each level is separated by 0.05mm giving the pattern an eye-catching 3D effect. The hour, minute and seconds hands of the Wild ONE timepieces are skeletonized, a distinguishing and much-loved design feature of all the watches in the Independence collection.

What immediately stands out about the 100% Swiss-made timepieces in the Wild ONE collection, aside from their incredible lightness, is their innovative construction. The case has separate top and bottom NORTEQ® parts, developed by strategic partner BIWI, which serve as a protective cage and are connected and secured with custom-made screws. Between these parts is a rubber shock absorber thats surrounds a titanium container in which ticks the NN20/1 Manufacture Calibre. The BIWI rubber bumper reliably absorbs shocks during even the most extreme activities. In total, the case is made of 25 parts, including four screws which are engraved with a mountain-peak design. Each watch weighs just 84 grams, which is 50% lighter than a stainless steel NORQAIN watch.

Displaying the hour, minute and seconds with a level of precision that exceeds industry standards, this Manufacture Calibre has been designed to withstand the movements and jolts of an active lifestyle.

For the development of the Wild ONE collection, we partnered with premium Swiss suppliers including BIWI SA for the design, concept, and material; MRP SA for case assembly and container production; Montremo SA for the laser-cut dial; and Waeber HMS SA for the skeletonized hands.
