The AMIDA Digitrend Open Sapphire is a limited-edition mechanical watch that shows the time through the side of its case. Its sapphire upper case reveals the hour and minute discs, while a sapphire prism directs their display toward the wearer. GPHG lists the June 2025 model as a 150-piece edition with an automatic movement, a 44-hour power reserve and 50-metre water resistance.

How the Digitrend Open Sapphire displays the time

This is not an electronic digital watch or a conventional watch face. Hours and minutes appear on discs viewed from the edge of the case. A sapphire prism refracts the display toward the wearer, and the Open Sapphire’s transparent upper case makes the discs and surrounding mechanism visible.

The design follows the original Digitrend, introduced in 1976. The 1916 Company describes that watch as part of the era’s mechanical digital designs, in which hour and minute discs were read through a prism at the case edge. The new model retains that side-reading idea with modern case construction and an automatic movement. The 1916 Company’s account of the Digitrend provides further historical context.

Movement and key specifications

Fratello identifies the movement as the Soprod Newton P092, an automatic calibre with manual winding and a module developed for jumping hours and scrolling minutes. GPHG lists automatic winding and a rate of 28,800 alternations per hour; Fratello gives that rate as 28,800 vph. Both sources state a 44-hour power reserve.

Specification Published detail
Reference WG41AAA.BEBNMM1A, according to GPHG
Case dimensions 39.6 × 39 mm; GPHG gives 16 mm thickness, while Fratello gives 15.6 mm
Case and display components Fratello describes 316L stainless steel, a sapphire hood, sapphire display prism and sapphire display back. GPHG lists a sapphire crystal and sapphire refraction prism.
Movement Soprod Newton P092, automatic with manual winding, 23 jewels, 28,800 vph, according to Fratello; GPHG lists automatic winding and 28,800 alternations per hour
Display Jumping hours and minutes read through the lateral prism; Fratello describes the minutes as scrolling

Water resistance 50 m / 5 ATM, according to GPHG and Fratello; Perpetuel’s dealer page instead states 30 m
Edition Limited to 150 pieces, according to GPHG and Fratello

The dimensions are close but not identical across the two launch sources, so the thickness is best read as source-dependent rather than a single settled figure. Water resistance also differs: GPHG and Fratello both state 50 metres, while Perpetuel’s product page states 30 metres. For the published launch specification, the corroborated 50-metre figure is the stronger one, but owners should follow the documentation supplied with their watch.

Edition, launch dates and prices

GPHG lists the model as launching in June 2025 and gives a tax-included price of CHF 4,900. Fratello’s June 17, 2025 launch coverage reports CHF 4,500 excluding VAT. OPENERS lists a September 2025 Japanese release at ¥960,300 including Japanese tax and describes a first-year limit. These are different source- and market-specific launch/listing figures, not directly interchangeable prices.

What “Open Sapphire” means

The name refers to the transparent sapphire upper case that exposes the discs and mechanism. Sapphire also remains part of the time-reading system: the prism refracts the display toward the wearer. In other words, the watch’s open appearance and its side-facing readout are related but distinct features.
