HAMILTON
INTRAMATIC
68
IN 1968, HAMILTON INTRODUCED the Chronograph B that would launch the famous “reverse panda”
dial with its two white counters on a black dial. Hugely popular in the 1960s and 70s, it is now highly
valued by collectors. The new Intra-Matic 68 automatic chronograph revives the original design as it
reprises the black/white contrast not once but twice: first with the white counters with black hands
against a black background, and again with the white chrono seconds hand and black dial, itself
circled by a white tachymeter scale. The H-31 automatic movement delivers a 60-hour power reserve,
a welcome upgrade, while the case moves up in size to a 42-mm diameter. Rounding it all off, a black
perforated leather strap adds to the vintage vibe of this 1,968-piece limited series.

AHOI
NEOMATIC
SMALLER THAN THE ORIGINAL AHOI, this neomatik version is 36 millimeters in
diameter and offered it several hues, now including these very summery versions. Inside is
the ultra-thin in-house automatic caliber DUW 300, also pictured above.
