The Adina Amphibian vintage sports watch is a timepiece that pays homage to one of the first production models Adina’s founder Bob Menzies ever produced: the S-22. This watch is designed with a symbolism that tells the story of a man and his dream: to design and build by hand watches in Australia.

The first thing you notice when looking at the face of this watch is the tall dome of the sapphire crystal glass. It creates a stunning visual effect which combines effortlessly with heritage coloured minute track. It gives a nod the old press fit acrylic glass of the seventies.

The case is created from cold stamped premium 316L stainless steel and measures 41 mm in width and 13mm tall. This grade of metal is known for its rust and corrosion resistance. It’s also a durable metal that holds up under pressure. The finish has a sophisticated matte appearance in brushed styling and a distance of 40 mm lug to lug.

The crown and bezel are stainless steel. The former is a unidirectional bi-oring style with a utilitarian coin edge for a minimalist yet functional edge. When you flip the watch over you will see a classic screw back. The dial is dark cerulean featuring a light red almost lipstick pink micro-minute track. These features enhance the personality and exude a sporty aesthetic. The logo cannot be over looked as it is the original logo used by Adina founder Bob Menzies in 1973-74 before coming up with the brands’ current logo.

The result a sophisticated and masculine look. The dark background of the dial sets the perfect backdrop for the polished hour and minute markers, The hands are chunky and filled with Superluminova, a treatment that is also applied to the indexes. They glow brightly in low-light environments to display the time legibly regardless of the lighting. The watch is water pressure tested up to 20ATM. Finishing what is a very limited edition of 100 vintage watches is a  stitched tan leather strap.

The Adina Amphibian vintage sports watch is powered by a 5 jewel Swiss Made Ronda movement. Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date at the 3 o’clock position on the dial. It is a Swiss workhorse that has proven itself time and again for reliability and accuracy.
