The Armida A6 is available with a smaller diameter of just 36mm however, I think this 40mm version is far more suitable in this day & age and would suit a larger amount of wrist sizes. The overall aesthetic, which is obviously a homage to the Rolex Explorer but with the huge difference being the price! It’s like night & day, however, you probably know that anyway.

That doesn’t mean to say that the Armida A6 is some budget, rinky dink pile of sh*t. Far from it! The build quality is fantastic, the fit & finish and of course the attention to detail is extremely good. All this for just £450! It just screams a total bargain! Oh yeah, the choice of movement that Armida chose to use… they’re not bloody cheap either, far from it.
Now, compare that to a Rolex Explorer, and I’ve just googled this, have an average price of around £6,000. SIX f**kin’ grand! And that price is for a used example. Bollocks to that! I know what I’d rather spend my hard-earned on.
Excellent review! I’ve analysed this watch in depth and come to pretty much the same conclusions as you. One thing everyone seems to overlook though is that Armida even went to the effort of fitting a “clutch system” in the crown (much like Rolex) something that most other luxury brands, Omega included, don’t bother with! This added to all the other features of this watch make it quite amazing!
