Stan Wawrinka Serves As An Ambassador For NORQAIN
A true gentleman both on and off the court, Stan Wawrinka boasts a professional career spanning over two decades, clinching 16 titles, including three Grand Slams, alongside Olympic gold and the Davis Cup for Switzerland. Now serving as as a new NORQAIN partner and ambassador of the new Wild ONE Skeleton Coral and Wild ONE Skeleton Gecko watches, Wawrinka will be the face of NORQAIN campaigns running around Roland Garros and Wimbledon this summer.
The new Wild ONE Skeleton Coral and Wild ONE Skeleton Gecko joins the fame of the best-selling Wild ONE Skeleton Turquoise. Both are based on the Wild ONE Skeleton 42mm, a version of NORQAIN’s high-concept, high-performance sports watch with an open-worked dial and 5,000g shock resistance. Both models therefore feature the revolutionary NORQAIN case construction, which encases a rubber shock absorber between a top and bottom cage made of black NORTEQ®, an exclusive ultra-light and ultra-robust carbon fiber composite that can also be colorized.
The latest editions incorporate Coral red or Gecko green accents to align with the two playing surfaces. Rubber shock absorbers, minute markers, and seconds hand outlines are rendered in Coral red or Gecko green, while hour markers and hands are filled with luminescent Coral red or Gecko green-colored X1 Super-LumiNova. Both timepieces are paired with animal cruelty-free black rubber straps featuring a rubber mesh insert in Coral red or Gecko green.
“Welcoming Stan into the NORQAIN family is a great moment for us. It was a huge pleasure watching him wearing the Wild ONE Skeleton Turquoise at the US Open. And then when we met we had great chemistry from the get-go, not just because of our Swiss connection, but because Stan is a guy who has been living out NORQAIN’s ‘my life, my way’ philosophy his whole career. It just made sense to partner together and to invite him to introduce these tennis-inspired versions of the Wild ONE Skeleton. This is just the start, too. There’s so much more to come… Welcome to the family, Stan!”, Ben Küffer, NORQAIN founder and CEO.
Poised inside the case is the chronometer-certified, 41-hour NORQAIN Calibre N08S by Sellita, recognizable by its bespoke NORQAIN oscillating weight and visible through the watch’s sapphire case back. Both watches are 200 meters water resistant with a two year warranty, upgradable to three years with sign-up to the NORQAINER community.
