1969 Hamilton Chrono-Matic (Ref. 11002-3) 'Cal. 11' Panda Dial

In addition to being one of Hamilton’s most famous and best-looking chronograph models of all time, the Chrono-Matic ref. 11002-3 also holds the distinction of being one of the world’s very first automatic chronograph watches, as it debuted in 1969 - the very same year that the first self-winding chronograph movements were making their inaugural appearances. Featuring a two-register layout, a date display at 6 o’clock, and an integrated micro-rotor design, the Cal. 11 represented a major step forward for the world of chronographs and the Hamilton Chrono-Matic ref. 11002-3 is easily one of the most important models from the brand’s archives.
