Norqain has kicked off the holiday season with a touch of opulence, unveiling two new 39mm Wild One Skeleton watches, each adorned with 18-karat gold top plates. The timepieces, available in both red and yellow gold, mark a significant milestone for the Swiss watchmaker, known for its commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.
The introduction of these luxurious models comes as Norqain celebrates a successful 2025. The company has made notable strides, including the appointment of Gary Neville as a business partner and ambassador in the UK and Ireland, and securing a sponsorship for a major football event. These achievements, alongside popular releases like the Freedom 60 Enjoy Life and the vibrant Wild One Skeleton series, underscore Norqain’s growing prominence in the watch industry.
Innovative Design Meets Sustainability
The new Wild One Skeletons are not just about aesthetics. They maintain the lightweight construction the series is known for, thanks to the use of an ultra-light NORTEQ composite back plate and a titanium container. This structural design is complemented by the 18-karat gold plate, which serves as the bezel and the upper portion of the case.
Customers can choose between two finishes: the 18-karat red gold, reminiscent of the 2023 Wild One Gold, and a new 18-karat yellow gold version, limited to just 50 pieces. Both variants feature gold crafted from “18K PX Impact Gold,” sourced from Norqain’s Swiss partner, PX Group. This gold is mercury-free and sourced from artisanal mines, ensuring that it supports sustainable practices.
Technical Excellence and Personalization
Functionally, the new models offer the robust features expected from the Wild One line. They include 200 meters of water resistance, a screw-down crown with protective guards, and a double-coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal. An engraved 18-karat gold plaque on the side of the case, typically made from NORTEQ carbon fibre, allows for personal customization, adding a unique touch of luxury.
At the heart of these watches is the Norqain Calibre N08S, an automatic movement based on the Sellita SW200-1 S. The skeletonized dial provides a clear view of the movement, framed by floating gold hour markers and diamond-cut, gold-plated hands. The N08S boasts a bespoke Norqain oscillating rotor and a power reserve of 41 hours, an improvement over the previous 38 hours. It is also COSC-certified, ensuring an accuracy of -4/+6 seconds per day.
Strap Options and Availability
The yellow gold model, with its darker, contrasting design, is paired with a black rubber strap, while the red gold model features a matching white rubber strap. Both straps incorporate the Milanese textured pattern found on other Wild One models and fasten with a NORTEQ carbon fibre pin buckle. Customers can also opt for a gold pin buckle or titanium folding clasps, ensuring a perfect fit that seamlessly extends the case’s design.
The Norqain Wild One Skeleton 39mm Red Gold and Yellow Gold Limited Edition will be available starting November 27, 2025, with prices beginning at £13,390. Limited to just 50 pieces, these watches are expected to be a coveted addition to any collection.
Looking Ahead
The release of these limited-edition models not only highlights Norqain’s dedication to luxury and sustainability but also sets the stage for future innovations. As the brand continues to expand its global presence and influence, it remains committed to crafting timepieces that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern design and ethical practices.
With the holiday season underway, Norqain’s latest offerings are poised to capture the attention of watch enthusiasts and collectors alike, promising a blend of elegance, performance, and responsible luxury.
