Looks very much like the Hamilton Chronomatic(s) from the mid-1970s. However, the vintage watches had their crown at the "9" instead of the "3". A tad awkward for the right-handed, I would imagine.

I like the modern version better, and anxiously await your wrist shots!
(FYI $245 in 1976 had the same buying power as $1100 does today)
yes sir it's a throwback to the vintage chronographs produced by the maker in the 1960s, specifically the Chrono-Matic, that are so popular with collectors today. With a few modern updates, the Intra-Matic 68 is a fresh new take on an old standby
First things first, where did this watch design come from? Well, back in 1968, Hamilton released the Chronograph A and the Chronograph B. The former featured a panda dial, with white background and black subsidiary dials, while the latter had the reverse configuration. These two watches were both powered by the Valjoux 7730 at launch, and later they'd switch to the Valjoux 7734. Hamilton eventually released the Chrono-Matic with the caliber 11 movement featuring a left-hand crown. It is safe to say that the new Intra-Matic 68 is aesthetically a combination of all three of these watches
