In the service of Nature: NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton 42mm Hakuna Mipaka Africa Special Edition

Model: Hakuna Mipaka Africa Special Edition N3000.07Q17.B24.R01

NORQAIN, one of the youngest yet most dynamically developing brands in Swiss watchmaking, proves once again that even the centuries-old, in many ways conservative watch industry is capable of renewal and embracing social causes. The independent brand's modern approach and commitment to nature are reflected in the Hakuna Mipaka Africa model, which is not only a sporty accessory but also a message about sustainability and the importance of caring for nature.

The release of the NORQAIN Wild ONE Skeleton Hakuna Mipaka was inspired by a collaboration with Dean Schneider, founder of the Hakuna Mipaka wildlife reserve, who is committed to protecting the wilderness. The foundation's protected area, home to thousands of animal species, is a true oasis that celebrates the beauty of nature. NORQAIN donates 10 percent of the proceeds from each sale of this model to support the sanctuary, so buyers not only receive an exceptional watch, but also contribute directly to nature conservation. Only 200 pieces of this limited edition will be produced, making it a true rarity.

The watch's 42-millimeter case is made from NORQAIN's own revolutionary NORTEQ composite material, which contains 60 percent biopolymer. This material is not only extremely light, six times lighter than steel and three and a half times lighter than titanium, but also exceptionally durable: it can withstand forces of up to 5000 g, so you don't have to worry about the watch's integrity even during the most extreme sports activities.

The case consists of 25 parts, which are specifically designed to absorb vibrations and shocks. The safari-patterned rubber insert on the side of the case and the handmade rubber strap are unique to each piece, emphasizing the handcrafted nature and exclusivity of the product.

At the heart of the watch is the NORQAIN Calibre NO8S automatic movement, supplied to the brand by Sellita. The COSC-certified movement has a power reserve of 41 hours. The watch glass is made of sapphire crystal, which is a must-have feature for the most durable watches, and this model is no exception. The skeletonized dial features Super-LumiNova coating on the hands and indices, which helps to read the watch in low light conditions. The orange outline of the second hand and the red details subtly refer to the colors of Hakuna Mipaka and the surrounding African tribes.

The back cover is also made of sapphire crystal, through which we can admire the mechanism, as well as the engraving indicating the limited edition and the Hakuna Mipaka logo. The watch is water-resistant to 200 meters, making it an ideal choice for those who love an active lifestyle. The screw-down crown has a rubber coating that provides a secure grip even in wet conditions.

This watch is for those who are not satisfied with everyday solutions, who value sustainability, nature, and an active lifestyle. The limited edition Wild ONE Skeleton Hakuna Mipaka is not just a watch, but a statement of character in favor of nature and uniqueness, while offering the best of Swiss watchmaking.
