The Wild ONE, made with our proprietary, ultra-robust and ultra-light NORTEQ® carbon fibre material, is the ultimate high-performance sports watch. Six times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than titanium this Wild ONE has been designed in collaboration with Jean-Claude Biver, the NORQAIN team and the best Swiss suppliers.
NORTEQ® is an ultra-light, ultra-robust material that was created exclusively for NORQAIN and its watches and is the result of a close collaboration between NORQAIN, Jean-Claude Biver, and BIWI SA. This high-performance material has a striking marble effect. The NORTEQ® carbon fiber composite offers the perfect balance between density, elasticity, and resistance for optimized shock-absorption. The case has separate top and bottom NORTEQ® parts which serve as a protective cage and are connected and secured with custom-made screws. The BIWI rubber bumper reliably absorbs shocks during even the most extreme activities. In total, the case is made of 25 parts, including four screws which are engraved with a mountain-peak design.
Sunbathing, swimming, or surfing – this robust timepiece carries with it an irrefutable reputation as the ultimate high-performance sports watch.

FEATURES
The watches are made with NORQAIN's proprietary NORTEQ® material which is known for being ultra-robust and ultra-lightweight. Thanks to the skeletonized movement, each watch weighs just 78 grams, which is more than 50% lighter than a stainless steel NORQAIN watch and six grams lighter than the current 84-gram Wild ONE models. The watches' robustness and shock resistance are proven by withstanding tests at 5000 g. It can handle extreme shocks and bumps like when the wearer rides a mountain bike, skis an exhilarating downhill slope, or runs an ambitious trail. This robust timepiece is the ultimate high-performance sports watch ready for any wild adventure.
