NORQAIN Unveils WILD ONE Hakuna Mipaka Skeleton Watch
Step into the wild world of fine watchmaking with a timepiece that breaks new ground—introducing the WILD ONE SKELETON 42MM Hakuna Mipaka Limited Edition by NORQAIN. This is not just another sports watch; it’s the first-ever Hakuna Mipaka edition to feature a skeletonized movement —a bold fusion of openworked mechanical precision and untamed, philanthropic spirit.
A Watch with a Mission
This groundbreaking edition celebrates NORQAIN’s partnership with Dean Schneider , wildlife ambassador and founder of the Hakuna Mipaka wildlife sanctuary. Every detail of this watch—from its earthy tones to its tribal-inspired strap—reflects Dean’s mission to protect and empower nature.
But this watch doesn’t just look the part. With 10% of proceeds donated to support the sanctuary , wearing it means being part of something bigger than style—it means contributing to a cause that roars with purpose
First Skeleton Movement in the Hakuna Mipaka Series
At its core lies the stunning NORQAIN Calibre N08S : a COSC-certified, automatic skeleton movement that offers 41 hours of power reserve and precision timekeeping down to -4/+6 seconds per day. The openworked dial reveals the artistry of Swiss engineering, while the custom NORQAIN rotor spins with your every move.
This marks the first time a Hakuna Mipaka watch showcases such intricate skeletonization—elevating the collection to new levels of craftsmanship.
Built for the Bold
The Wild One Skeleton is designed to handle the wild, literally. Housed in a case made from NORQAIN’s exclusive NORTEQ® material , it’s:
6x lighter than steel , 3.5x lighter than titanium
Resistant to shocks up to 5000G
Water-resistant to 200 meters
Finished with sapphire crystals on both sides
Enhanced by a rubber shock absorber and sandblasted titanium container
It’s a watch made for mountain bikers, padel players, divers, and adventurers who demand performance without compromise.
No Two Are Alike
The safari-patterned rubber strap—handcrafted using Vulca Ink™ marquetry —is unique to each timepiece. Inspired by tribal designs symbolizing strength, movement, and unity, this strap isn’t just decorative; it’s deeply symbolic. It transforms the watch into a wearable tribute to heritage, courage, and conservation
