Buffon and Neville on the Norqain team. Turquoise Independence Wild One Skeleton
Norqain, one of the newest and most dynamically developing players in Swiss watchmaking, has been proving since its founding in 2018 that it definitely has a place at the forefront of the industry. The brand's commitment is evident not only in its watches, but also in the selection of its ambassadors. Two soccer stars, Gary Neville and Gianluigi Buffon, will now represent the brand.
Gary Neville, Manchester United legend
Gary Neville is a renowned Manchester United player who spent his entire career at United, which is almost unheard of in modern football. As a member of the "Class of 92" generation, he played a key role in the most successful period in the club's history. He won eight Premier League titles, two Champions League titles, and three FA Cups. He made 85 appearances for the English national team and is still considered one of the most reliable defenders in English football. After his retirement, Neville successfully continued his career in business and media.
Gianluigi Buffon, Juventus legend
Gianluigi Buffon is one of the greatest figures in Italian football, having broken numerous records during his three-decade career. As goalkeeper for Juventus, he won ten Serie A (Italian league) titles, while with the Italian national team he won the World Cup in 2006. Buffon has played in more than 1,100 professional matches and holds the record for the most appearances in the Italian league. He retired in 2023 at the age of 45 and currently assists the Italian national team while pursuing his studies in sports management.
Norqain Independence Wild ONE Skeleton turquoise edition
The Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton turquoise model also perfectly reflects the brand's innovative spirit. The exterior of the watch case is made of an exclusive NORTEQ® carbon fiber composite material, which is six times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than titanium. This material is not only renowned for its light weight, but also for its inherent strength: the watch can withstand impacts of up to 5000 g, which may be an attractive feature for those looking for a durable companion for extreme sports or adventurous activities. The composite watch case also contains a rubber shock absorber element located between the innermost titanium container containing the watch mechanism and the outer NORTEQ® shell. Weighing a total of 78 grams, the watch is also outstanding in terms of water resistance, with the manufacturer guaranteeing its resistance to depths of up to 200 meters.
Norqain Independence Wild ONE Skeleton With its skeletonized dial, it is worth taking a look at the automatic movement through the transparent dial.
The skeletonized design of the dial is impressive: the black carbon base is decorated with turquoise details. This is not the first skeletonized watch we have seen in watchmaking, but Norqain has raised the bar. The mechanism is completely visible, allowing us to observe the hairspring, the gears, and even the inner workings of the crown mechanism.
The diamond-cut hands and indexes are coated with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring excellent readability even in low light conditions. At the heart of the watch is the NORQAIN Calibre NN08S automatic movement, which has a 41-hour power reserve and is COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) certified.
The COSC standard allows for a maximum deviation of −4/+6 seconds per day. The Milanese pattern of the rubber strap that complements the watch not only gives it an aesthetic appearance, but also ensures comfortable wear.
Norqain Independence Wild ONE Skeleton With its transparent case back, it's worth taking a look at the watch mechanism.
The turquoise model of the Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton is designed for those who enjoy an active and adventurous lifestyle, are tireless, and need an impressive watch that can keep up with them. Whether for sports or everyday wear, this watch is perfect for any occasion.
