Intra-Matic '68

The Hamilton Intra-Matic '68 channels the spirit of late-1960s American racing chronographs, reviving a design inspired by Hamilton’s own reference 9369-3. Its panda dial, pump pushers, and domed sapphire crystal evoke the era’s bold aesthetics, while limited production numbers add appeal for collectors seeking a modern watch with authentic vintage cues.

This model’s 40mm stainless steel case offers a wearable update from the original’s smaller dimensions, and inside beats the Caliber H-31 automatic chronograph movement, providing a 60-hour power reserve and reliable performance. Unlike the original hand-wound models, the automatic movement and exhibition caseback set the Intra-Matic '68 apart as a contemporary reinterpretation rather than a direct reissue.

Look for the ref. H38716731—the black dial “panda” variant—if you want the most faithful nod to the 1968 original. Price variation tends to follow condition and completeness, with full sets (box, papers, original strap) commanding premiums. The limited edition run of 1,968 pieces means availability fluctuates, and unworn examples are increasingly scarce on the secondary market.
