Hamilton - American Classic Intra-Matic Auto Chrono 40 mm

Inspired to the Chronograph A from 1968, the new Hamilton Intra-Matic Automatic Chronograph 40mmis part of the American classic collection. Specs and price.

In 1968, Hamilton presented the Chronograph A with black subdials on a white dial (“panda”) and the Chronograph B with two white subdials lying against a black background ("reverse panda”).

In 2017, the brand launched a limited edition inspired by the Chronograph B (you can read about it here). This year, it is time to celebrate the Chronograph A with the new Intra-Matic Automatic Chronograph, a watch that is part of the American classic collection.

Its 40 mm stainless steel case is slightly larger than the 36 mm original but the overall look and feel is in line with the model from the 1960s.

Protected by a sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating, the “panda” dial features nickeled hour and minute hands with Super-LumiNova, black lacquered seconds hand, and white lacquered counter hands. The font and Hamilton logo across the dial are the historic version from 1968.

The H-31 automatic chronograph movement (based on the ETA Valjoux 7753) beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 60-hour power reserve.

Water resistant to 10 bar (100 metres / 330 feet), the watch is matched to a black soft-touch leather strap with pin buckle.

The Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto Chrono 40 mm (ref. H38416711) has a retail price of Euro 1,995. hamiltonwatch.com
