Watches and Wonders 2026: Norqain Reveals Bold New Freedom Chrono Enjoy Life “Sprinkles” Special, And Wild One Skeleton X-Lite Collections

Colours drawn from shifting skies and seasons meet fearless watchmaking innovation as Norqain blends playful expression with high performance engineering proving this is not for style but with purpose and precision

17 April 2026 01:07 PM

Most watch brands treat colour like a garnish, something to sprinkle on at the very end to make things look a bit more exciting. Norqain, however, has decided to do the exact opposite. At Watches and Wonders 2026, it takes colour, ties it to the moods of weather itself, and builds entire watches around it, as if a clear blue sky, a sudden storm, or a burst of sunlight after rain could be translated into steel, carbon, and movement. The result is a lineup that feels alive, from the unapologetically playful Freedom Chrono Enjoy Life “Sprinkles” Special, which looks like summer decided to throw a party on your wrist, to the Wild One Skeleton X Lite, a far more serious piece of engineering that still refuses to be dull. This is where innovation meets expression, where materials are pushed, movements refined, and colours are not just applied but engineered into the identity of the watch itself, proving that in 2026, standing out is no longer optional, it is the entire point.

Freedom Chrono Enjoy Life “Sprinkles” Special Edition

The timepiece arrives in a 40mm stainless steel case, defined by a polished bezel and flanked by two chronograph pushers at 2 o'clock and 4 o’clock

The timepiece arrives in a 40mm stainless steel case, defined by a polished bezel and flanked by two chronograph pushers at 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock, alongside a screw-down crown at 3 o’clock that reinforces its sporty intent. The dial immediately sets the tone, rendered in a playful mix of light blue and light pink with a matt finish, scattered with colourful Super LumiNova sprinkles that bring a sense of movement and joy. Encircling this is a white outer ring carrying a bold black tachymeter scale calibrated to 500 km per hour, adding a layer of functional contrast. The layout remains classic, with white counters positioned at 3 o’clock for the 30 minute register, 6 o’clock for the 12 hour counter, and 9 o’clock for running seconds, while diamond cut flat hour markers, rhodium plated and filled with white Super LumiNova, ensure clarity. At 4:30, a date window introduces a whimsical twist, revealing a soft ice cream motif that appears every 7 days, while the anthracite NORQAIN logo anchors the dial at 12 o’clock.

The hands follow the same refined detailing, with diamond cut faceted hour and minute hands in rhodium plating

The hands follow the same refined detailing, with diamond cut faceted hour and minute hands in rhodium plating filled with luminous material, complemented by a diamond cut central chronograph seconds hand and matching small counter hands. Powering the watch is the NORQAIN calibre N19, based on the SW510 a, a mechanical automatic chronograph movement offering a 62-hour power reserve.

The open caseback, fitted with scratch proof sapphire crystal, reveals a personalised NORQAIN

The open caseback, fitted with scratch proof sapphire crystal, reveals a personalised NORQAIN stainless steel oscillating weight and special Ice Cream edition printing featuring the phrase “Enjoy Life,” reinforcing the watch’s spirited identity. Completing the package, the model is offered on a stainless steel bracelet, a white rubber strap, or a white rubber strap with a folding clasp, ensuring versatility to match its vibrant character.

Wild One Skeleton X-Lite Collection

The Norqain Wild One Skeleton X Lite makes an immediate impact with its 41mm NORTEQ case

The Norqain Wild One Skeleton X Lite makes an immediate impact with its 41mm NORTEQ case, featuring a screw down crown at 3 o’clock overmoulded with yellow rubber and stamped with the NORQAIN logo, balanced by an engraved black NORTEQ® plate at 9 o’clock that reinforces its technical identity. The construction is deliberately layered, combining black NORTEQ® case components across the top, bottom, and sides with yellow rubber shock absorbers and an X Lite casing ring, all housed within a sandblasted black DLC titanium container and finished with an aluminium caseback. The skeletonised black dial continues this high contrast theme, brought to life with yellow printings and indexes outlined in yellow Super LumiNova, ensuring visibility while maintaining its stripped back aesthetic. Diamond cut faceted hour and minute hands, black plated with yellow Super LumiNova tips, sweep across the open architecture, accompanied by a diamond cut flat seconds hand, also black plated with a luminous yellow tip for clarity.

The open caseback, secured with four visible screws and protected by scratch proof sapphire crystal

The open caseback, secured with four visible screws and protected by scratch proof sapphire crystal, is printed with “Limited Edition, One of 200” in yellow, underscoring its exclusivity. At its core beats the NORQAIN 4K Manufacture Calibre NBK26/1, a mechanical automatic skeleton movement that is chronometer certified by COSC, fitted with 24 rubies and delivering a 65-hour power reserve through a bi directional winding system. The movement features a personalised oscillating weight and bridge inspired by mountain peaks, echoing the brand’s adventurous DNA. Weighing just 45 grams and paired with an ultralight double layered rubber strap, the watch combines structural innovation with extreme wearability, positioning itself as a bold, modern expression of performance driven watchmaking.
