In 1968 Hamilton launched the Chronograph B with reverse panda dial and this Hamilton Intra-Matic 68 is inspired by that model. It is a limited edition of 1968 pieces and of course it sports a reverse panda dial as well.

These bi-register chronograph type of watches were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Today this new Hamilton Intra-Matic 68 has a modernized monochrome design with a bigger case: 42 millimeters. On some photos, it seems the white colors are not exactly white; the tachymeter scale and subdials look more off-white which strengthens the retro design.

The Hamilton Intra-Matic 68 has a clear 1960s design

The Intra-Matic 68 features the ETA/Valjoux caliber 7750 base Hamilton caliber H-31 beating at 28,800 vph. There is 30-minute counter at the 3 o’clock position and the small seconds are at the 9 o’clock position. The date window is at 6 o’clock. The automatic movement offers a power reserve of 60 hours and can also be found in the Hamilton Jazzmaster Performer Automatic Chronograph 42mm.

The best part of the watch is the price: around a friendly 2,000 US dollars or euro’s.
