NORQAIN introduces Grade 5 titanium to its Wild ONE sports watch collection.

Each ultra-light watch features a COSC-certified movement and robust shock-absorbing construction.
NORQAIN is expanding its Wild ONE collection with three new models that introduce Grade 5 titanium to the high-performance sports watch for the first time. Originally launched in 2022, the Wild ONE has built its identity around a lightweight, shock-resistant multi-part case combining the brand’s proprietary NORTEQ® carbon-fibre material with rubber and mechanical movements. The latest additions – the Wild ONE Skeleton Titanium 39mm Limited Edition, Wild ONE Skeleton Titanium 42mm and Wild ONE Meteorite Titanium – add a titanium top plate, NORQAIN Plate and pin buckle, bringing a brighter metallic finish into contrast with the collection’s typically matte surfaces. Around 45% lighter than steel, Grade 5 titanium also reinforces the Wild ONE’s focus on low weight, durability and corrosion resistance.
The two Skeleton Titanium models retain the collection’s shock-absorbing architecture, combining a titanium container with a rubber shock absorber and black NORTEQ® back plate. Both are powered by NORQAIN’s skeletonized 4K Manufacture Calibre NK26/1, a COSC-certified automatic movement offering a 65-hour power reserve, with bridges and an oscillating weight shaped to recall Alpine mountain peaks. The 39mm edition, limited to 400 pieces, adopts a muted grey palette with light-yellow details and matching Super-LumiNova, while the larger 42mm version introduces mint green across the shock absorber, strap and dial accents. Both also reposition the NORQAIN logo to the dial ring, opening up a clearer view of the movement beneath.
Rounding out the release is the 42mm Wild ONE Meteorite Titanium, which pairs the same titanium, rubber and NORTEQ® construction with an anthracite iron-meteorite dial cut from material discovered in northern Sweden. Its natural Widmanstätten pattern ensures that every dial is visually unique, while the watch is powered by the COSC-certified Manufacture Calibre NN20/1 by Kenissi, offering a 70-hour power reserve. The new Wild ONE Titanium models are now available through NORQAIN and select retailers. The 39mm and 42mm Skeleton Titanium models range from $7,250 to $7,690 USD, while the Wild ONE Meteorite Titanium starts at $7,750 USD and goes up to $8,190 USD.
