Intra-Matic Auto Chrono 40mm White Panda Dial / Black Leather Strap

WatchIntel verdict: consider. Good if bought well, weaker at full retail. The Intra-Matic Auto Chrono gives buyers a proper automatic chronograph movement, strong vintage styling, sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance. The value case weakens if the buyer pays full retail while pre-owned examples trade materially lower, or if they expect luxury finishing rather than strong mid-market chronograph character.

It uses the Hamilton H-31. The H38416711 uses Hamilton Calibre H-31, not H-21. Official Hamilton data confirms H-31 as an automatic chronograph movement with date and 60 hours of power reserve. Secondary technical sources identify H-31 as ETA/Valjoux 7753-based, with 27 jewels and 28,800 vph frequency. That makes it a strong practical automatic chronograph movement for this price segment, but not an in-house manufacture calibre. WatchIntel should frame it as a modified Swatch Group chronograph platform, not as a proprietary manufacture movement.

Low to moderate. Hamilton brand heritage and the 1968 design story are part of the appeal, and the Matrix Resurrections placement adds cultural visibility. But the watch also has real substance: H-31 automatic chronograph movement, 60-hour reserve, sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance. The hype tax is not extreme, but it is not zero.

Good in principle through Hamilton / Swatch Group service channels and qualified chronograph-capable watchmakers. Secondary technical sources identify H-31 as ETA/Valjoux 7753-based, which supports practical serviceability compared with more exotic chronographs. However, automatic chronographs are still more complex than simple three-hand watches, so WatchIntel should not publish fixed service costs or claim cheap universal independent service without direct sources.

Moderate. The H38416711 is recognizable and has active secondary-market data, but it is not a scarcity-driven watch. WatchCharts estimated market price at $1,394 versus approximately $2,200 retail reference as of Jun 06, 2026 / Jan 2020. This makes it attractive pre-owned but weaker as a full-retail value-retention play.

The overall WatchIntel score is 67/100, combining movement quality, value, hype tax, serviceability, and resale liquidity.

Yes. It is an automatic chronograph.

Official Hamilton specs list 40mm diameter and 14.45mm thickness.

Official Hamilton lists the dial as white. WatchBase describes it as silver dial with black counters and black tachymeter scale. Public display should use careful wording such as white/silver panda dial.

Use dated regional sources only. Hamilton international lists CHF 2,240 on the accessed page, and WatchCharts lists a retail reference of approximately $2,200 as of Jan 2020. Do not show one timeless global retail price.

Use dated market data only. WatchCharts estimated market price at $1,394 as of Jun 06, 2026. Market prices vary by condition, box/papers, service history, strap condition, seller trust and region.

Yes if the buyer wants the 1960s-inspired panda chronograph look and buys at sensible pricing. It is less compelling for buyers who want the thinnest chronograph, lowest service cost, or strongest resale.
