Norqain INDEPENDENCE WILD ONE NHLPA

The NORQAIN Independence Wild ONE NHLPA Limited Edition, made with our proprietary NORTEQ carbon fibre material, is the ultimate high-performance sports watch. Six times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than titanium with water resistance to a depth of 200 metres, it is robust enough for virtually any activity on land or water. The Wild ONE has been designed in collaboration with Jean-Claude Biver, the NORQAIN team and the best Swiss suppliers.

This limited edition Wild ONE model celebrates the extension of the partnership between NORQAIN and the National Hockey League Players’ Association through 2024. This model has a black NORTEQ case with a marbled effect. A black rubber shock absorber, which covers the titanium container that houses the chronometer-certified NN20/1 Manufacture Calibre inside, is visible between the NORTEQ protective cage. The shock-absorbing BIWI rubber bumper of each watch has been mixed with the material of an ice hockey puck, giving every model a unique appearance. The NORQAIN Plate in the same black NORTEQ material can be found on the side of the case. A white “scratched ice” dial stands out and features the black NHLPA logo at 6 o’clock. The hour, minute and seconds hands are skeletonised, like for all other watches in the Independence collection. The logo as well as “ONE OF 300” are printed in black on the sapphire glass caseback. This model is available with a white or black integrated rubber strap complete with a “Milanese” structure.

Only 300 pieces of this timepiece will be produced – 44 will be given to NHLPA all-star players and 256 are available for purchase. Both NORQAIN and hockey fans who purchase this limited edition timepiece will receive an exclusive NHLPA X NORQAIN puck, unavailable anywhere else.
