Hamilton Intra-Matic Automatic Chrono H38416711 Watch

The Watch
In 1968, Hamilton unveiled the Chrono A - a two-register chronograph with black subdials on a white dial that would go on to define the iconic "panda" look. Now, fifty years later, Hamilton celebrates that milestone with the new Intra-Matic automatic chronograph, part of the American Classic collection. Sophisticated and masculine, this timepiece features a polished 40 mm stainless steel case topped by a high-quality flat sapphire crystal that resists both shocks and scratches. True to Hamilton's American heritage, a crown engraved with the brand logo sits at 3 o'clock, flanked by two pushers to operate the chronograph and tachymeter functions. A screwed caseback secures the automatic movement while providing water resistance suitable for most water activities. Sporty yet classic, this watch captures Hamilton's rich watchmaking legacy - blending the charm of the sixties with an exclusive automatic caliber. And that signature panda dial? It's guaranteed to turn heads.

The Dial
This reimagined model sports a round "panda" dial faithful to the 1968 original. The beige dial with two black subdials brings Hamilton's signature monochromatic magic to life - a design element deeply rooted in the American spirit of the original '60s chronograph. The outer edge features a black tachymeter scale with white Arabic numerals, while a black railroad track pairs with baton indices marking the hours. The nickel-plated hour and minute hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® for easy reading in low light. A slender lacquered black seconds hand handles the chronograph function, while two black-centered subdials at 3 and 9 o'clock count 30 minutes and small seconds respectively. At 6 o'clock, a date window with black borders rounds out the dial. Finally, the typeface and Hamilton logo are faithful reproductions of the historic 1968 originals.

The Movement
At the heart of this exceptional timepiece beats an exclusive Swiss-made automatic chronograph movement. Built on an ETA 7753 Valjoux base, the H-31 caliber has been fine-tuned by Hamilton for enhanced precision. Featuring 27 jewels, it oscillates at 28,800 vph with a 60-hour power reserve. This caliber delivers hours, minutes, small seconds, date, chronograph, and a 30-minute counter.

The Strap
The strap on this chronograph model is crafted from supple cowhide leather, delivering exceptional wearing comfort. In black, it features refined finishing and tone-on-tone topstitching. It fastens with a stainless steel pin buckle and has a 20 mm lug width - perfectly suited to the male wrist. The strap reference is H600.384.110.

Water Resistance
With a water resistance rating of 10 ATM (100 meters), this watch earns the true definition of "waterproof." It's built for the bath, shower, or lap pool - though it is not rated for diving (recreational or professional) or high-pressure water jets. That said, the Ocarat watch team strongly recommends keeping the crown and pushers dry during water activities to preserve the water resistance and protect the movement's integrity.
