Unmissable
A NEW SHADE OF WILD
The Wild ONE Skeleton 42mm Purple marks the boldest evolution of NORQAIN’s ultimate sports watch, crafted from ultra-robust, ultra-light NORTEQ® carbon fibre, it’s six times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than titanium. engineered for extremes but refined for everyday wear.
Now, for the first time, the Wild ONE arrives in a bold new Purple edition, strictly limited to just 400 pieces worldwide. Each case back is engraved “One of 400”, marking its rarity. And for the month of October, Time+Tide is proud to be the exclusive UK home of the Purple Wild ONE - available nowhere else in the country, online or offline.
UNVEILED
THE MOVEMENT ON SHOW
Beneath the purple accents, the skeletonised dial reveals the open-worked Calibre NB08S. Finished in ruthenium black, this COSC-certified automatic movement delivers chronometer precision and a 41-hour power reserve. A personalised NORQAIN oscillating weight gleams through the sapphire case back, where the purple-printed “Limited Edition – One of 400” underlines its rarity.
ADVENTURE
LIGHTWEIGHT. ROBUST. UNMISTAKABLE.
Six times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than titanium, the Wild ONE’s 25-part construction was developed in collaboration with Jean-Claude Biver and Switzerland’s best suppliers. The purple edition is as durable as it is daring: water-resistant to 200m, shock-tested to 5,000 g, and finished with the customisable NORQAIN plate on the case flank. This is a watch made to live as wildly as you do.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
INNOVATION & EXPRESSION
NORQAIN CEO Ben Küffer explains:
“The design flexibility we get from our unique, highly innovative case construction means we can play with colour to deliver watches that create a lasting impression. Of course, as ever with the Wild ONE Skeleton, this new purple edition offers so much more than powerful aesthetics. Thanks to its innovative use of high-tech materials, this is a performance watch, intended as a daily complement to an active, outdoor, adventurous lifestyle.”
