Norqain expands Wild One line with three titanium models
Norqain introduces three new titanium models to its Wild One sports watch collection, including two skeletonized versions and a meteorite-dial variant.
Norqain has unveiled three new titanium models in its Wild One collection: the Wild One Skeleton Titanium 39mm Limited Edition, the Wild One Skeleton Titanium 42mm, and the Wild One Meteorite Titanium. This launch marks the first use of titanium in the Wild One line, a collection previously defined by its NORTEQ composite construction. The new models pair lightweight Grade 5 titanium with skeletonized movements and a naturally patterned iron-meteorite dial.
NORQAIN said: "The latest collection pairs lightweight Grade 5 titanium with skeletonized movements and a naturally patterned iron-meteorite dial." The brand has replaced the NORTEQ top cage with a Grade 5 titanium top plate for the bezel and lugs. The signature customizable side plate at 9 o'clock and the pin buckle are now also made from titanium. Grade 5 titanium is approximately 45% lighter than steel, a key feature for these sports watches.
Design and construction details of the skeletonized models
The two skeletonized models retain the collection's shock-absorbing architecture. This includes a sandblasted titanium central container, a rubber shock absorber, and a black NORTEQ back plate. They are powered by Norqain's skeletonized manufacture caliber 4K NK26/1, developed with AMT Manufacture. This COSC-certified movement beats at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offers a 65-hour power reserve. Both models reposition the Norqain logo to the dial ring and feature anti-reflective sapphire crystals front and back, with water resistance to 200 meters.
The 39mm Skeleton Titanium model is a limited edition of 400 pieces. It features a muted grey palette with light-yellow dial accents and matching pale-yellow Super-LumiNova. The 42mm Skeleton Titanium model introduces a mint green colorway across its rubber shock absorber, strap, and dial accents, with mint-green Super-LumiNova. Final pricing for each model depends on the selected fastening system, which can be a NORTEQ pin buckle, a titanium pin buckle, or a black DLC-coated titanium folding clasp.

Meteorite dial model highlights natural uniqueness
The Wild One Meteorite Titanium model features a dial cut from anthracite iron meteorite discovered in northern Sweden. This material displays a natural Widmanstätten pattern, ensuring each dial is visually unique. The 42mm case shares the same titanium, rubber, and NORTEQ construction as the skeletonized versions. It is powered by the COSC-certified manufacture caliber NN20/1, produced by Kenissi, which provides a 70-hour power reserve. The watch features white Super-LumiNova X1 on its hands and hour markers.
Availability and pricing structure
The new Wild One Titanium models are available to order through Norqain and select retailers, depending on the market. U.S. Pricing for the skeletonized models ranges from $7,250 to $7,690, while the Meteorite Titanium model starts at $7,750 and goes up to $8,190. The exact price in all markets is contingent on the chosen fastening system. The 39mm Skeleton Titanium model is limited to 400 pieces.
