Norqain Wild One Skeleton Chrono Hands-On Review
The Norqain Wild One Skeleton Chrono combines an ultra‑light, shock‑resistant case with a skeletonised dial, offering a high‑performance sports watch that feels both robust and feather‑light. Built from a novel carbon‑polymer composite called NORTEQ and featuring a titanium inner case surrounded by a rubber damper, the watch can endure shocks up to 5,000 g and is water‑resistant to 200 metres. Its in‑house NK24/1 movement, derived from the Sellita SW500, provides a 62‑hour power reserve, COSC certification, a column‑wheel chronograph, and a flyback function, while the transparent sapphire disc sub‑dials maintain legibility despite the skeletonised design. The 42 mm case is available with black or turquoise textured rubber straps, and the watch includes a heart‑rate scale, appealing to sporty, health‑conscious users. Priced just under 8,000 EUR, the piece showcases Norqain’s commitment to Swiss‑made innovation, with ambassadors such as Stan Wawrinka testing its durability on the court. The overall package highlights how modern engineering and advanced materials can push traditional watchmaking boundaries while delivering comfort and precision.
