Stepping up in Norqain's range
The Wild ONE Skeleton 39mm is a Jean-Claude Biver collaboration, and the case construction shows why his involvement matters: a NORTEQ carbon fibre composite cage contains an ice blue rubber shock absorber, which in turn holds a sandblasted titanium movement container. The three-layer system is engineered to isolate the movement from impact, and the result is a watch rated to 200m that weighs only 78 grams total — lighter than many dress watches half its complexity. At 39mm with a 45.75mm lug-to-lug, this sits closer to the wrist than the 42mm Wild ONE it succeeds, and the shorter arc means it will suit wrists that the earlier version skipped over. The COSC-certified N08S is a skeletonised build on the Sellita SW200-1 architecture, so through the open dial you are looking at a movement with a documented track record for reliability dressed in the same ice blue and purple colour language as the case. The mesh-textured rubber strap carries a Milanese pattern and closes with a matching purple NORTEQ carbon buckle — the chromatic coordination between strap, shock absorber and buckle is deliberate and consistent throughout.

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.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow 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.
What size strap does it take?
20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 45.75mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16cm (6¼ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
How to size a watch to your wristIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
