Norqain, a Swiss luxury sports watch brand, has unveiled its latest creation - the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite. Weighing just 45 grams, this timepiece is one of the lightest mechanical sports watches available, achieved through the use of a proprietary X-Lite carbon fiber composite casing and a skeletonized dial design.

Why it matters

The Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite represents a significant advancement in sports watch design, catering to the needs of active individuals who demand both style and functionality from their timepieces. Its innovative use of materials and engineering solutions solidifies Norqain's position as an innovative brand shaping the future of the luxury sports watch market.

The details

The key to the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite's featherlight weight is the use of X-Lite, a proprietary carbon fiber composite developed by Norqain in collaboration with BIWI. This material is used for the casing ring, significantly reducing the overall mass of the watch while enhancing its shock absorption capabilities. The skeletonized dial, with its diamond-cut, faceted, and openworked hands and markers, not only reduces weight but also ensures excellent legibility. Powering the watch is the new Norqain 4K Calibre (NBK26/1), a COSC-certified automatic movement developed in partnership with AMT, which offers a 65-hour power reserve.

  • The Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite was unveiled in April 2026.
