Norqain Wild Skeleton 39mm: technology and lightness
The total weight is only 64 grams.
Norqain's Wild One Skeleton 39mm is a beautiful combination of engineering and design. It is an ultra-light watch, weighing only 64 grams, thanks to the use of the aforementioned Norteq, which is significantly lighter than steel and titanium. It is also ultra-resistant, being able to withstand a shock resistance of up to 5,000 G, and thus making it ideal for any high-intensity sporting activity. The guaranteed water resistance up to 200 metres and the eco-friendly composition of the Norteq, which contains 60% of organic material derived from castor oil, complete the technical features.
The Hyper Pink, Sky Blue and Purple Ice Blue models are powered by the Norqain N08S calibre (28,800 vibrations per hour, Sellita-based), a skeletonised automatic movement chronometer-certified by the Cosc with 41 hours of power reserve. The Mint model, on the other hand, is a limited edition produced in only 400 pieces and is powered by the NB08S calibre, a black ruthenium-finished version of the N08S calibre. The skeleton movement is also visible on the dial side, protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The strap is made of rubber, matching the colour of the shock absorber, and is integrated into the Norteq case.
