Description

The return of a black-clad icon

Amida revives the spirit of the 70s with a bold re-edition of its legendary Digitrend. Selected this year at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG 2024) in the “Petite Aiguille” category, this emblematic watch gets a new lease of life with an all-black edition: the Digitrend Black Edition.
Inspired by retro-futurism and the Space Age, this version features a black DLC stainless steel case, accentuating its sporty, contemporary look.

Its vertical digital display, made possible by a sapphire prism patented in 1973, evokes the dashboard of a sports car or the control station of a spaceship. Designed as a “driver’s watch”, it offers optimum legibility without taking your eyes off the road.

Beneath its avant-garde aesthetic beats a Newton caliber from Soprod, a self-winding mechanical movement with jumping hour display and 44-hour power reserve. The optional black DLC steel bracelet ensures an assertive monochrome look, with an orange-lined Alcantara alternative, a nod to the codes of the 70s.
