American Classic Intra-Matic Chronograph H White - Bracelet

Finally it’s here. The Hamilton’s Intra-Matic Chronograph H unfolds the full vintage experience with the introduction of their latest exclusive calibre H-51 hand-wound chronograph movement. Sharing many distinguishing traits of the Intra-Matic Auto Chrono, Hamilton repackaged the retro panda chronograph into a new svelte 2-piece case construction that houses a boxed-shaped sapphire crystal for a true ‘60s appeal.

Watches holding rich history and quality designs definitely spark a great deal of excitement for many watch lovers, especially when it comes to vintage reissues inspired by nostalgic design elements from a bygone era.

From a heritage brand like Hamilton, modern re-interpretations of their past retro models has been the direction they are going in many recent releases, reviving them with Swiss watchmaking capabilities of the 21st century. In 2017, Hamilton unveiled the limited edition American Classic Intra-Matic Chrono 68 based on the Hamilton Chronograph B from 1968, a gorgeous release well-received by vintage watch enthusiasts. This time round, the Intra-Matic Chronograph H recaptures the golden age of sports chronographs, bringing back the unparalleled haptic pleasure of a hand-wound timepiece.

The Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Chronograph H White Ref. H38429110 receives a reworked 2-piece 316L stainless steel construction with the bezel integrated into the mid-case, offering a more seamless appearance compared to the former 3-piece construction in previous iterations. While the overall thickness remains relatively unchanged at approximately 14.3mm, this new case construction resulted in a notably slimmer case profile, with the boxed sapphire crystal contributing to the overall height. Nonetheless, the watch sits extremely comfortable on the wrist with a versatile diameter of 40mm and a lug to lug distance of 49mm.
