The NORQAIN Independence Wild ONE TCS NEW YORK CITY MARATHON, made with our proprietary NORTEQ carbon fibre material, is the ultimate high-performance sports watch. Six times lighter than steel and 3.5 times lighter than titanium with water resistance to a depth of 200 metres, it is robust enough for virtually any activity on land or water. The Wild ONE has been designed in collaboration with Jean-Claude Biver, the NORQAIN team and the best Swiss suppliers.

This limited edition Wild ONE model, designed to celebrate the partnership between NORQAIN and New York Road Runners (NYRR) and our role as Official Timekeeping Partner of the TCS New York City Marathon, features a light grey outline of the racecourse through a black and grey map of New York City across the dial. This model has a black NORTEQ case with a marbled effect. A white rubber shock absorber, which covers the titanium container that houses the chronometer-certified NN20/1 Manufacture Calibre inside, is visible between the NORTEQ protective cage. The NORQAIN Plate in the same black NORTEQ material can be found on the side of the case. The hour, minute and seconds hands are skeletonized, like for all other watches in the Independence collection. This model is available with a white or black integrated rubber strap complete with a “Milanese” structure.

A nod to the length of the race, only 262 pieces of the Independence Wild ONE TCS NEW YORK CITY MARATHON will be produced. This high-performance timepiece is the ultimate choice for TCS New York City Marathon participants from around the world.
