Hamilton Intra-Matic 68 Automatic Chrono Panda Ref. H38416711

$2,195

New Hamilton 40mm Intra-Matic Auto Chrono White, Black Dial Leather Strap H38416711

The Intra-matic’s round, polished stainless steel case is a clean and balanced expression of a vintage chronograph.   The 40mm case size is considered by many to be the perfect goldilocks size, not too big and not too small.  The darker outer band with tachymeter nicely frames the classic panda dial, making this not only a beautiful and functional watch, but highly legible.   This modern automatic chronograph is powered by a caliber H-31 that is based on a Valjoux 7753 that Hamilton enhanced to improve the already robust movement by extending the power reserve to 60 hours.  This Hamilton Intra-matic Auto Chrono offers a great value for anyone wanting a vintage styled chronograph.

Description

As befitting its name, Hamilton is an American watch-making institution.  Although like many brands it was absorbed into the Swiss SWATCH group during the quartz crisis, it is still thought of as one of the finest watch brands to have come out of America.  With this Intra-matic Auto Chrono model, Hamilton offers a vintage revival with modern Swiss enhancements.  Hamiltion was not the first watchmaker to release an automatic chronograph, but it was close.  Together with Heuer, Breitling and Dubois-Depraz, Hamilton formed a group competing in the early 1960’s to develop the first automatic chronograph.  The group didn’t succeed in producing the first, but they did create one of the best automatic chronograph calibers.
