^ If you like it, go for it. Nice piece.
And truly rare, IMHO.
I finally gave in with IWC to celebrate a promotion:
Certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but combines some interesting features:
- (semi-)integrated, ingenious bracelet
- timelessly modern looking & legible dial
- only 41mm (chronos from that era tended to be larger)
- 14mm in height “only” (for a Valjoux-based chrono)
- still 120m of WR (plenty for a swim)
If I remember correctly the automatic is 42 and the manual is 40
Inspired by vintage mechanical watches from the past, the Intra-Matic combines timeless style with modern upgrades. A distinctive panda-style dial grabs attention immediately, framed by a black tachymeter ring that matches both the textured black subdials at three and nine o'clock and the date window at six o'clock. Hamilton's exclusive H-31 automatic movement is the heartbeat of the timepiece, complete with chronograph function, hacking seconds, and an enhanced mainspring to extend the power reserve to 60 hours. Sporty and classic, it's all housed within a robust 40mm stainless steel case and finished with a black leather strap.
