AMIDA introduces the Digitrend OSII Black, the latest evolution of its iconic digital watch concept inspired by the original 1976 Digitrend. Continuing the brand’s vision of futuristic mechanical design, the new limited edition transforms the OSII concept through advanced materials, a transparent sapphire construction and a fully luminous display.

Limited to only 150 pieces worldwide, the Digitrend OSII Black represents AMIDA’s interpretation of a future imagined decades ago, now brought into modern watchmaking reality.

THE SPIRIT OF VERZASCA: A LANDSCAPE OF MINERAL LIGHT

The Digitrend OSII Black continues AMIDA’s mission to revive and evolve the distinctive design language of the original Digitrend.

Rather than recreating the past, AMIDA focuses on extending its futuristic identity with:

  • A jumping-hour mechanical display

  • A transparent sapphire hood

  • Black DLC-coated internal architecture

  • A fully illuminated night-time display

The result is a timepiece that connects the bold design vision of the 1970s with contemporary mechanical innovation.

The Sapphire Hood: Transparency as Design

The defining feature of the Digitrend OSII Black is its full sapphire hood, replacing the traditional outer shell with a transparent protective structure.

Machined from a single block of sapphire, the crystal acts as:

  • A protective shield for the mechanism

  • A window into the internal architecture

  • A medium allowing light to reach the movement

The transparent construction reveals the mechanical elements from every angle, transforming hidden components into part of the visual experience.

Sculpted Internal Architecture

With the movement fully exposed, AMIDA redesigned the internal structure to become an aesthetic element of the watch.

The Digitrend OSII Black features:

  • DLC-coated 316L steel internal framework

  • Integrated architecture surrounding the jumping-hour module

  • Sculpted structural elements designed for visual impact

Every component contributes to the overall futuristic appearance, creating a watch where engineering and design exist together.

A Fully Luminous Jumping-Hour Display

For the first time in the Digitrend evolution, the display becomes fully visible in darkness.

The sapphire hood allows light penetration, activating:

  • BGW9 Super-LumiNova® luminous hour indices

  • Additional luminous accents on the internal framework

The result is a new nocturnal identity, allowing the Digitrend design language to continue beyond daylight.

Two Strap Options and Customisation

The Digitrend OSII Black is offered with:
Alcantara Strap Version

  • Black Alcantara upper surface

  • Orange calf leather lining

  • AMIDA branding details

  • Quick-change spring bar system


Optional Steel Bracelet

  • Integrated 316L stainless steel construction

  • Hidden spring mechanism for flexibility

  • Butterfly clasp

  • Engraved AMIDA signature

Limited Edition: 150 Pieces Worldwide
The AMIDA Digitrend OSII Black is produced as a limited edition of 150 numbered pieces, representing a continuation of AMIDA’s futuristic design philosophy. With its sapphire architecture, luminous display and mechanical jumping-hour system, the OSII Black demonstrates AMIDA’s approach to independent watchmaking, transforming a historic vision into a contemporary mechanical creation.
