Discover the bold spirit of the wild with the limited-edition NORQAIN Independence Hakuna Mipaka, created in collaboration with wildlife ambassador and NORQAINER, Dean Schneider. Limited to just 100 pieces, this extraordinary 40mm timepiece captures the essence of untamed nature with its striking leopard-print dial and velvety, animal-friendly rubber strap featuring a laser-textured pattern. A rainbow-set bezel, adorned with 60 ethically sourced crystals, adds vibrant brilliance—each crystal carefully selected as a sustainable alternative to mined gemstones.

Crafted from 316L stainless steel with a black DLC coating, the case is both robust and refined, featuring an open case back etched with the Hakuna Mipaka logo and a golden “ONE of 100” engraving. The dial showcases red gold-plated hands and indexes filled with X1 Super-LumiNova®, ensuring visibility and elegance in equal measure. At its heart beats the COSC-certified NORQAIN Calibre N08 automatic movement, offering a 41-hour power reserve and precision performance.

This timepiece not only embodies sophisticated design and mechanical excellence but also carries a powerful purpose. Ten percent of sales will be donated to the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis, supporting Dean Schneider’s mission to protect and rehabilitate wildlife in South Africa. In keeping with NORQAIN’s commitment to ethical craftsmanship, the watch is entirely free from animal products, continuing their pledge to eliminate leather from all collections.

The Independence Hakuna Mipaka is more than a watch—it’s a tribute to freedom, passion, and purpose. Let your wrist tell a story that matters.
