Laurent's opinion
A watch that doesn’t rely on nostalgia, but on intelligent design: the Digitrend NASA Edition perfectly captures the spirit of the 1970s without ever veering into retro territory, offering a genuine timepiece with a rare personality.

Description

The spirit of pioneers, reinterpreted by independent watchmaking

With the AMIDA Digitrend NASA Edition, the brand revisits one of its most iconic models through the lens of space exploration. Produced in a limited series of 100 pieces, this special edition is more than just a stylistic exercise: it thoroughly reimagines the architecture and perception of time.

Inspired by the radical aesthetics of 1976—the year the Digitrend and NASA’s famous “Worm” logo were born—this creation embodies the same spirit of innovation and disruption. It evokes an era when design, engineering, and a vision of the future were one and the same.

The monocoque construction in DLC-treated steel, topped by a white ceramic shell, embodies the functional demands inherited from the space industry: robustness, lightness, and resistance to extreme conditions. Each element is conceived as a technical component, serving a pure and unapologetic aesthetic.

True to the Digitrend’s DNA, the display relies on a prism system with jumping hours and scrolling minutes, offering a horizontal readout that is as intuitive as it is unique. A strong visual signature, halfway between an on-board instrument and a design object.

With this NASA Edition, AMIDA does not look to the past, but extends a vision: that of experimental, free, and daring watchmaking. A piece for collectors, where the history of innovation becomes a canvas for creation.
