Description

Back to the Future: The iconic AMIDA Digitrend returns for 2024, reimagined and perfected by a passionate team.

Founded in 1925, AMIDA revolutionized watchmaking with its innovative designs and vertical time displays, favored by drivers and astronauts alike.

Featuring an in-house module with jumping hours and a patented prism display, the Digitrend combines 1973’s ingenuity with modern craftsmanship. Its sleek 316L stainless steel case reflects automotive-inspired elegance.

Features

AMIDA stood out by adopting modern pin-lever movements with ‘Rosskopf’ escapements, making high-quality watches affordable and competitive through the early 1970s.

The vertical display was perfect for drivers, allowing them to read the time without taking their hands off the wheel. This design made it a favorite among both car enthusiasts and astronauts.
