This is the Amida Digitrend Open Sapphire Black. It is  the proof that the original idea was never finished, it was simply  waiting for the right moment to evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Amida shocked the watch world in 1976 with the mechanical  Digitrend, it proposed a radical way to read time: a prism turning  jumping-hour discs ninety degrees, so the display faced the driver. We  resumed that mission with the first Open Sapphire. Now, we take it  further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe full sapphire hood, machined from a single block, no  longer just reveals the movement but also it activates it. Light floods  through the crystal shell, charges the BGW9 Super-LumiNova indices, and  for the first time in Digitrend history the display ignites in the dark.  A new DLC-coated steel framework replaces what was once hidden and  utilitarian, turning the interior into deliberate architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe  build this watch in one hundred and fifty pieces. It is the work of a  team that believes the mid-century vision was abandoned too soon, and  that the machine they dreamed of making can finally exist. The Open  Sapphire Black is not nostalgia. It is a historical correction — and we  are just getting started.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AMIDA Crew\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLRD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLIGHT REFLECTING DISPLAY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere  is no luminous or electronic display. So what is the secret? AMIDA’s  idea is more than ingenious. The readout is actually an optical effect  created by a crystal in the shape of a prism. The movement operates  horizontally, but the ‘image’ of the hour and minute discs is projected  vertically. AMIDA called its system LRD (for Light Reflecting Display),  which was patented under No.3,786,626 on April 5, 1973. A remarkable and  singular proposition in horology that makes the Digitrend a watch truly  extra-ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUNIQUE REFINEMENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing  an in-house developed module with a unique dual-disc construction of  only 9 components, doubling as both a plate and a casing ring, this  modern movement,with the tightest tolerances, incorporates jumping hours  for exceptional efficiency and precision. These technical improvements  find themselves amplified by aesthetic refinements, like the redesigned  minute window and completely redesigned typography–true to the original  orange digits emblematic of the70s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47303188054187,"sku":"WG42AAW2.MASNMM","price":8223.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/5842842898.jpg?v=1782671079","url":"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/products\/amida-digitrend-osii-black-wg42aaw2masnmm","provider":"Exquisite Timepieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
