NORQAIN released the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite Turquoise, a 45-gram sports watch that marks the brand's signature color applied to its lightest model. The 41mm watch features a carbon fiber X-Lite case made from more than 30 individual components, including NORTEQ, titanium, aluminum, and rubber. The X-Lite carbon-fiber composite was developed with Swiss material specialist BIWI and engineered for low weight and shock absorption.
Vivid turquoise appears across the rubber shock absorbers, crown, skeletonized dial details, and strap against predominantly black construction. The case combines black NORTEQ top, bottom, and side components with a sandblasted black-DLC titanium container and aluminum caseback. Turquoise Super-LumiNova outlines the indexes and hand tips.
Two strap options are available. One pairs black and turquoise rubber in double-layer construction with perforations that reveal the brighter layer. The second combines a perforated black rubber upper with an interchangeable turquoise stretch band designed to conform around the wrist.
The watch retains 100 meters of water resistance and sapphire crystal on both sides despite its lightweight design. Inside sits the COSC-certified NORQAIN 4K Manufacture Calibre NK26/1, an automatic skeleton movement developed with AMT. The movement features a 28,800 vph frequency and 65-hour power reserve.
Production caps at 300 pieces per year worldwide, and the watch joins the brand's permanent collection, unlike the earlier X-Lite Limited Edition released earlier this year. NORQAIN will debut the watch at Mavericks of Time in Abu Dhabi before releasing it on October 29, 2026 through NORQAIN boutiques and retailers. Both strap versions retail for $13,900 USD. Each watch arrives in a specially designed presentation box featuring an integrated watch winder.
