Hamilton’s Legendary Chronograph Gets a Gorgeous, Vintage-Inspired Update

The cylindrical mid-case, sloped bezel and angled lugs adhere to the pragmatic design of 1960s racing watches because they were tools above all else — beautiful tools, but tools nonetheless.

Topped off with the piston pushers and a knurled crown, the automotive inspiration on Hamilton’s flagship chronograph is impossible to miss.

Panda dials are universally adored, but Hamilton’s most underrated chronograph — and my personal favorite — deserved a splash of color. All three new references adhere to the 1960s racing aesthetic that brands look for in the collection, while still feeling fresh and eye-catching.

Hamilton’s three colorful new Intra-Matic Chronograph H entries have one more benefit over the original panda models. While shoppers are forced to choose between a leather strap and a steel mesh bracelet on older models, Hamilton offers both with the new ones.

All three watches come on a perforated leather racing strap with a pin buckle and stitched ends. The blue dial has a brown strap, while the other two straps are color-matched to the dial. With all three, Hamilton’s customary Milanese steel mesh bracelet with a folding clasp comes complimentary in the box.
