Hamilton Unveils The Intra-Matic Auto Chrono Blackout Trio
Hamilton continues to honor its legacy of car culture-inspired chronographs with the latest Intra-Matic Auto Chrono blackout trio. Reviving the spirit of the 1969 Chrono-Matic and building on the 2017 Intra-Matic Auto Chrono, these new models arrive in a bold, stealthy aesthetic that combines vintage inspiration with modern performance.
Each timepiece in the collection features a robust 40mm stainless steel case with a sleek black PVD coating, offering a contemporary and refined look. Measuring 14.45mm in thickness and 49.20mm in length, the case is designed for a strong wrist presence while ensuring comfortable wear. The timepieces come equipped with a sapphire crystal, a smooth bezel, and a screw-down crown at 3 o’clock, engraved with the Hamilton signature and flanked by two pushers. A recessed pusher at 10 o’clock allows for easy date correction, while the solid screw-down case back ensures 100 meters of water resistance, making these chronographs versatile for daily wear.
The matte black dial presents a striking Bi-Compax layout, featuring a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock and a running seconds subdial at 9 o’clock. A date window at 6 o’clock blends seamlessly into the background, maintaining the sleek monochromatic theme. Applied hour markers with square tips and blackened edges, along with Super-LumiNova-filled hands, enhance visibility in low-light conditions. An outer tachymeter scale painted in white, orange, or yellow complements the chronograph center hand, adding a distinct character to each of the three variations.
Powering the collection is the Hamilton Caliber H-31 automatic movement, a 27-jewel mechanism based on the reliable ETA 7753. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this movement delivers a robust 60-hour power reserve, ensuring reliable timekeeping and precision.
Completing the design is a black rally-style perforated leather strap, featuring an underlayer in yellow or orange to match the dial accents. The variant with white details maintains an all-black strap for a cohesive look. Each watch is secured with a matching steel pin buckle and features quick-release spring bars for effortless strap changes.
Available now, the Hamilton Intra-Matic Auto Chrono blackout series is priced at € 2,295, offering a perfect blend of vintage motorsport heritage and contemporary style.
