Family-owned
Swiss producer Norqain makes adventure a priority, as can be seen in
the double N’s of their logo, which symbolizes a mountaintop. Their
three collections, Adventure, Freedom, and Independence, showcase
mechanical movements and a restless spirit to explore and innovate.
Explore
your wild side with this handsome timepiece that celebrates Norqain’s
partnership with Dean Schneider, a passionate animal lover who operates
the 400-acre Hakuna Mipaka Oasis animal sanctuary in South Africa.
As
one of only 300 pieces produced, this is an opportunity to add a truly
unique and special limited-edition timepiece to your collection.
The
brown dial is stamped with a lion fur-like pattern as well as the
Hakuna Mipaka logo. Attractive and singular in design red gold-plated
luminous indexes can be found around the edge of the dial while
diamond-cut red gold-plated luminous skeletonized hour, minutes, and
seconds hands take center stage.
To
cut down on scratches the stainless steel case sports a rugged PVD
coating. It measures 42 mm in diameter, 12.30 mm in height, and rests
upon a sand-colored rubber strap with a lovely lion fur-like pattern and
Hakuna Mipaka logo wth a prong buckle.
As
a self-winding automatic watch, in the engine room we find Norqain’s
Manufacture NN20/1 caliber (by Kenissi), which beats at 28,800 vph,
possesses 27 rubies, and delivers a generous 70-hour power reserve.
Additional
features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a screw-down and
protected winding crown, and a wonderful 200 m / 20 atm water
resistance.
From
its limited-edition production to its celebration of animal rights, we
are pleased to offer this Norqain Wild One Hakuna Mipaka watch here at
significant savings.
