First Look: The New All-Black Versions of the Hamilton Intra-Matic Auto Chrono (Incl. Video)
The Intra-Matic's origins are rooted in Project 99, developed with Buren, Heuer, Breitling and movement specialist Dubois-Depraz. The result of this joint effort was presented in 1969 with one of the first automatic chronograph movements called Chrono-Matic, or Calibre 11, depending on the brand using it. Alongside, Hamilton presented in the late 1960s the Chronograph A and B models, and by mixing both, you ended up in 2017 with the Intra-Matic 68 Chronograph.

Sadly, table clocks, once a ubiquitous presence on the mantelpiece of many homes, have gone the way of drinks trolleys and soda siphons.
