Hamilton invited us to breakfast this morning to see the highlights of their Basel 2012 collection. There were some really excellent pieces, but the one that really caught our eye was the brand new intra-matic (all lower case).
The watch is clearly vintage inspired, and just as it was in the 1950s, it will be the sister watch to the Thin-O-Matic, the tribute of which we saw last year. The intra-matic feature simple stick markers with a domed crystal and dial. It is a thin watch at around 7mm thick. The intra-matic is great looking, and will be available in both steel and gold pvd, in 38mm and 42mm on leather or a bracelet.
The best part about the new intra-matic is the price: $ 845 for the 38mm and $ 945 for the 42mm – not bad for a nicely designed watch with a rock-solid ETA 2892 under the hood. These will hit stores in March.

Today, January 3rd, in 1957, those crazy guys from Lancaster, PA (otherwise known as Hamilton), unveiled the very first electric watch movement. Called the 500, this watch used a battery to drive a complex gear train, which in turn pushed the hands. This required constant battery changes, and all but nullified the theoretic benefits of an electric watch that you wouldn’t have to wind. The watch was not a commercial success and a decade later, the quartz cyrstal technology put the Hamilton 500 out of action for good. The 500 was used in a few different cases, the most popular of which was the asymmetrical Hamilton Ventura.

On many occasions I’ve mentioned that I pretty much only feel comfortable wearing a quartz movement based watch when that movement offers functionality you can’t find in a mechanical watch. Analog/digital watches such as this are a prime example. Offering the grace of analog time telling, the dials are enhanced with digital LCD screens that offer lots more functionality – as only an electronic watch can offer.
New from Hamilton is this Khaki Flight Timer. Done in collaboration with the Air Zermatt helicopter rescue team in Switzerland, this is their new high-function pilot watch with a Swiss ETA quartz movement. You can see the Air Zermatt logo engraved on the caseback. Functionally this watch should do a lot even though I don’t have a full spec sheet. The dial is broken up into a few negative LCD screen sections and the case has a crown along with three pushers. You can still read the time easily enough, and I like the large applied metal minute/hour markers. You’ll of course see that the dial is a available in a silver or anthracite tone. Skeletonized hands make it possible to see the screens below them without too much interference.
So what does the watch do? According to Hamilton one of the price features is log data for recording details of up to 20 flights and a total of 99 landings. I assume the means take off and landing times as well as total flight duration times. The movement also likely offers a stopwatch, timers, calendar, alarms, multiple time zones, and world time information. I also like that it has a rotating timing bezel on the case.
The steel case is 40mm wide, making it a medium-sized watches. The case is water resistant to 100 meters and has a sapphire crystal. The overall design helps bridge the gadget and sport watch look together pretty well. This is a function-oriented watch and I like that Hamilton is still keen on making a lot of these pieces. Not having played with the piece myself yet I can’t comment on all the functions or its easy of use.
Hamilton will offer the Khaki Flight Timer with at least two dial options and on a rubber or leather strap. There is also thankfully a metal bracelet option. Prices for the leather/rubber strap models is $ 1,445 and for just a bit more you can get the metal bracelet model for $ 1,495.
