What to know

Norqain’s Independence Skeleton Titanium DLC offers a more restrained alternative to the colourful Wild ONE. A Grade 5 titanium case reduces weight while preserving the Independence’s 42mm silhouette. Black DLC covers the case, and red-gold-coloured hands and markers stand out against the exposed blackened movement.

The automatic NB08S is based on Sellita architecture and carries COSC chronometer certification. An integrated black rubber strap completes the design, with a reported total weight of 82 grams. August launch coverage listed $5,850 with a titanium pin buckle or $6,250 with a folding clasp. This is the Independence Skeleton, distinct from Norqain’s composite-cased Wild ONE family.
