he Intra-Matic takes inspiration from the Chrono-matic, Hamilton’s first automatic chronograph. Introduced in 1969, it has become an icon. The distinctive ‘panda’ design with dual black sub dials set against a white face and perforated leather strap perfectly captured the aesthetics and ethos of 1960s Americana driving culture. 

Now, the all-new Intra-Matic takes that same design and performance pedigree into the modern era. With three variations – each featuring a stealth black 40mm case – the design language marks a bold new territory for the Intra-Matic family. 

The Intra-Matic features two sub dials along with a chronograph hand, a date indicator and a tachymeter. The latest works in connection with the chronograph hand to measure the average speed between two points based on elapsed time.

A muted black with contrasting white indexes and hands is the minimalist, sleek option. Meanwhile, striking electric yellow and orange options bring vibrancy and a pop of colour in the chronograph hand, tachymeter and perforations in the strap. Inspired by design elements in the latest supercars, the Intra-Matic harnesses the power and excitement of auto racing.

The physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating on the case and strap buckles is where style meets performance. Multiple layers of coating just 1/1000000th of a millimetre thick deliver high anti-corrosion protection. And with its 28-jewel movement providing a 60-hour power reserve, the Intra-Matic Auto Chrono packs a punch worthy of a supercar, with road-ready appeal.
