It should be noted that the digital dashboard display style with a covered top case, sometimes called casquette in French, hasn’t been unique to Amida. It has been used and revived by other brands, most notably Girard-Perrigaux with its high-end electronic digital display version, the Casquette 2.0.
The rubberized leather strap leans heavily into the Space Shuttle brief, with a quilted, square-patterned exterior in white ‘beta cloth’ that Amida says is similar to the materials used in NASA shuttle-era spaceflight suits. With a black DLC-coated buckle, the strap uses velcro (a Swiss innovation invented in the 1940s) and another material used in NASA space missions for a secure closure.
