The faux vintage trend has come to something of a head over the last few months. Just ask HODINKEE editor Cara Barrett what she thinks about "faux-tina" and you'll get a sense of what I mean. While, as I mentioned above, every brand is dipping into its archives to dig up and refresh old ideas, some are executed better than others – much better, in fact. As far as this watch is concerned, Hamilton has paid careful attention to the details (which are what vintage lovers care about most, after all), and I think there is an awful lot to like about the Intra-Matic 68 AutoChrono as a complete package. While it's still too big for me to wear on a daily basis, if you're looking for a vintage-inspired chronograph in a modern size at a fair price, I highly recommend you take a look at this watch.
