NORQAIN has introduced the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite Turquoise, a 41mm watch weighing 45 grams and featuring a COSC-certified automatic skeleton movement. The model joins the brand’s permanent collection, with production limited to 300 pieces per year worldwide; both strap versions are priced at $13,900 and are due on sale October 29, 2026.
NORQAIN has announced the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite Turquoise, a 41mm sports watch weighing 45 grams that adds the brand’s signature color to its lightest model. The watch joins NORQAIN’s permanent collection, but the company says worldwide production will be capped at 300 pieces a year; it is priced at $13,900 and is scheduled to become available October 29, 2026.
The watch uses a multi-part construction with more than 30 components made from NORTEQ®, titanium, aluminum, rubber and X-Lite, NORQAIN’s carbon-fiber composite developed with Swiss materials specialist BIWI. X-Lite forms the internal casing ring; the material is engineered for low weight and shock absorption. The case includes black NORTEQ® top, bottom and side components, a sandblasted black-DLC titanium container and an aluminum caseback.
Turquoise appears on the rubber shock absorbers, crown, skeletonized dial details and strap. Turquoise Super-LumiNova outlines the indexes and the tips of the black-plated hands. Buyers can choose between a double-layer black-and-turquoise rubber strap, where perforations expose the colored layer, and a configuration combining a perforated black rubber upper with an interchangeable turquoise stretch band.
Inside is the COSC-certified NORQAIN 4K Manufacture Calibre NK26/1, an automatic skeleton movement developed in collaboration with AMT. NORQAIN lists its frequency at 28,800 vibrations per hour and its power reserve at 65 hours. The watch also has sapphire crystal on both sides and a stated water resistance of 100 meters. Both strap configurations cost $13,900 and come in a specially designed presentation box with an integrated watch winder.
A Limited Annual Run for X-Lite
The announcement pairs a new color option with a relatively low stated production ceiling: NORQAIN says it will make 300 pieces per year worldwide, while positioning the model as part of its permanent collection rather than a one-time limited edition. That distinction means the watch is not described as a single fixed-run release, even though annual supply is capped.
The model also puts the brand’s emphasis on low weight alongside mechanical and outdoor-oriented specifications. Its 45-gram weight, skeleton movement and 100-meter water resistance are presented together in a $13,900 watch. For prospective buyers, the confirmed price, two strap choices and planned availability date provide the clearest points for comparison; the source does not establish how many units will reach any particular market or retailer.

From X-Lite Debut to Turquoise
NORQAIN’s new model follows the debut of the first Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite Limited Edition earlier in 2026, according to the supplied report. The turquoise version carries forward the X-Lite construction while changing the color treatment and collection status: it is described as joining the permanent collection, with an annual production cap rather than a single stated total run.
The Wild ONE uses a multi-part case architecture, and the X-Lite composite is one of several materials in that structure. The source identifies BIWI as NORQAIN’s development partner for X-Lite and describes the material as an evolution of NORTEQ®. That background helps explain the watch’s construction, but the reported material does not provide independent weight comparisons with other watches or performance test results for shock absorption.
Availability and Production Details
The reported information does not specify how the 300-piece annual cap will be divided among countries, boutiques or strap configurations, nor whether production will continue at that level in later years. It also does not give a total number of watches planned across the model’s lifetime. Although NORQAIN describes the watch as part of its permanent collection, the reported annual limit means future availability could depend on production and retailer allocation.
The source provides product specifications and release details but no independent testing of the watch’s stated water resistance, weight or shock-absorption performance. It also does not include a direct statement from a NORQAIN executive or explain whether the October 29 date applies to every listed retailer worldwide.
October 29 Retail Availability
NORQAIN is scheduled to present the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite Turquoise at Mavericks of Time in Abu Dhabi before the watch becomes available from selected NORQAIN boutiques and retailers worldwide on October 29, 2026. Buyers can check with participating sellers for local stock, allocation and which strap configurations they will carry.
The stated retail price for both versions is $13,900. The supplied release information does not identify a separate launch date for particular markets or retailers, so those details may need confirmation from NORQAIN and its authorized sellers as the release approaches.
