Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton Turquoise 42mm
Ref. N3000.07Q27.B07.R01
Sits in Norqain’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Norqain watches we list, which start at £1,850.
Price range £1,850 to £5,500 across 25 Norqain watches in stock.The Wild ONE was born from Norqain's collaboration with Jean-Claude Biver, and the construction is the story: a NORTEQ carbon fibre composite cage surrounds a turquoise rubber shock absorber, which in turn encases a sandblasted titanium core. That three-layer architecture gives the case a certified shock resistance of 5,000g while keeping total weight to 78 grams — light enough on the wrist that the 42mm diameter reads as larger than it feels. The skeletonised calibre N08S is a modified Sellita SW200-1, COSC-certified and therefore held to -4 to +6 seconds per day. Through the open dial, diamond-cut rhodium-plated hands and indices carry turquoise X1 Super-LumiNova that matches the colour running through every layer of the case architecture, from the shock absorber inside to the rubber strap's Milanese-textured top surface. That strap closes with a pin buckle cut from the same NORTEQ carbon as the case — a small detail, but one that makes the whole thing read as a considered object rather than an assembled one.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 200m it is rated for swimming, snorkelling and recreational diving.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 41 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 49.40mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16.5cm (6½ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
