Gymnastics men’s Shinnosuke Oka becomes new ambassador
In conjunction with this announcement, Norkane has welcomed men’s gymnastics player Shinnosuke Oka (Tokushukai Gymnastics Club) as an official ambassador “Norkaner”. Oka is a rising star who has won three gold medals in one tournament for the first time in 52 years as a Japan team at the Olympics, and was selected as the embodiment of the brand’s spirit of challenge.
On his appointment, Oka commented, “Norcane is a brand that adheres to its own style with the aim of becoming the pinnacle of Swiss watches, and the gymnastics club I belong to is also aiming to be the best gymnastics club in Japan, so I sympathized with that spirit.” “Olympic athletes are all about results, but I also want to stick to being the strongest and best as a person,” he said.
“My life, my way” – the philosophy of those who take on challenges
Furthermore, regarding the brand slogan “My life, My way”, Oka expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “For me, being myself means aiming for beautiful gymnastics for anyone to see, and I want to aim for the top with both an E score, which evaluates the accuracy of the technique, and a D score, which evaluates the level of difficulty.”
As an independent Swiss brand, Norcane has adhered to the belief of family business, pursuing both quality and challenge. This Japan-limited model “Wild One Skeleton JP 42MM” embodies that philosophy and marks a new stage for the brand.
