The Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Chronograph H timepiece has made its debut as a series of motorsports-inspired watches that pay homage to the golden era of 1960s racing. The watch comes in three dial options including Warm Brown, Hunter Green and Blue, which each boast a gradient effect that lightens from the outer edges to the interior and further accented by a domed sapphire glass crystal. The timepiece measures in with a 40mm diameter, 14.35mm in thickness and is powered by the hand-wound Calibre H-51 movement that has been developed by ETA and based on the Valjoux 7753 with a 60-hour power reserve to boot.
The Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Chronograph H timepiece is part of the brand's permanent collection and is priced at $2,445.
