SpotlightInspired By The Courts Of Wimbledon: Norqain Wild One Skeleton Coral And Gecko

Swiss watchmaker Norqain, one of the exhibiting maisons at this year’s Watches and Wonders Geneva event, will serve up their latest innovations by joining hands with Grand Slam Tennis champion Stan Wawrinka. The Swiss professional tennis player is now the official partner and ambassador of the new Wild One Skeleton Coral and Wild One Skeleton Gecko watches. This collaboration introduces two vibrant timepieces, showcasing the perseverance of the family-owned Swiss watch brand and the sportsmanship of one of the greatest and most enduring tennis players of his era. At the upcoming French Open, Stan will wear the Wild One Skeleton Coral, inspired by the fiery red clay of Roland Garros courts. Come July, he will flaunt the Wild One Skeleton Gecko at the Wimbledon matches-inspired by the green shade that colours the iconic grass courts of the tournament. The two WWG 2024 novelties follow in the footsteps of the original Wild One Skeleton 42mm, Norqain’s highly functional sports watch with skeletonised dial and 5,000g shock resistance.

High-Concept, High-Performance: Norqain Wild One Skeleton Coral And Gecko

Norqain Wild One Skeleton Coral And Gecko feature the revolutionary Norqain case construction with a marble effect, which encases a rubber shock absorber between a top and bottom cage crafted in black Norteq-an exclusive ultra-light and ultra-robust carbon fibre composite that can be colourised. From rubber shock absorbers to minute markers, seconds hand outlines, and accents, all elements are executed in coral red or gecko green to symbolise the clay and grass courts used in professional tennis matches. Placed on top of this skeletal framework are the baton indexes and hour and minute hands; all X1 Super-LumiNova applied in matching coral red or gecko green.

The Norqain Wild One Skeleton Coral, just like its sibling Gecko, highlights Norteq, which is a proprietary material six times lighter than steel

Norteq is a genius creation with practical innovations, as it is crafted from aerospace-grade carbon fibre and a high-performance polymer matrix

Tastefully capturing the spirit of fun, functionality, and fearlessness, the Wild One watches highlight Norteq-a proprietary material six times lighter than steel. Norteq offers designers unparalleled creative freedom as it can be customised with any colour during production. Norteq is a genius creation with practical innovations- crafted from aerospace-grade carbon fibre and a high-performance polymer matrix containing 60 per cent bio-sourced material.

The 42mm black Norteq case features a screw-down crown, overmolded with black rubber and Norqain logo. The case is fitted with antireflective, flat sapphire glasses on both sides that are scratch-resistant and showcase the open caseback. Both variations are paired with animal cruelty-free black rubber straps having rubber mesh inserts in either coral red or gecko green.

Chronometer-Certified Movement Of The Norqain Wild One Skeleton

Beating inside the high-tech case of the latest Norqain Wild One Skeleton is the chronometer-certified Norqain Calibre N08S by Sellita movement. Produced in-house, the bespoke Norqain oscillating weight is visible through the sapphire caseback. With a balance frequency of 4Hz, the watch delivers up to 41-hour power reserve. In total, both iterations weigh 78gm, while offering 200m of water resistance.

The Norqain Wild One Skeleton series is rugged, yet riveting, built to withstand extreme bumps and shocks so that they work as dependable companions for all wild adventures you plan to conquer.
