THE STORY
It is more than an update to a classic watch. It is the wonderful continuation of a story. A story of innovation, now beautifully resumed.
Amida first shocked the watch world in 1976 with the mechanical Digitrend. A prism at the front turned the jumping-hour disks ninety degrees, so time could be read on the side while driving. Today we pick up that idea and move it forward.
Two-thirds of the new case is clear sapphire grown by the Kyropoulos method. Each piece is shaped and polished for more than twenty hours until it shows no optical distortion. Light floods the movement and makes every edge sharp to the eye.
Inside sits a Soprod Newton automatic base linked to our own in house jump-hour module. The module keeps the original digital display but is built with modern tolerances and Swiss traditional finishing. Wide Geneva stripes, mirror anglage, and tight perlage reward a closer look.
We build this watch in small numbers. It is the work of an independent team that wants to resume Amida’s path of bold ideas and clear function. The Open Sapphire is our statement that innovation is not a one-time event. It is a journey we intend to continue.
