Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch features a stainless steel case measuring 37 mm in diameter, characterized by thick and symmetrical lugs. A distinct design element is the placement of the crown on the left side of the case, contrasted by two pump-style chronograph pushers positioned on the right. The stainless steel case retains its original lines, though minor signs of prior use are present.

The dial displays a white matte background with two black sub-dials, creating a panda-style layout. A date window is situated at the 6 o'clock position. The perimeter of the dial is framed by a tachymeter scale. The central chronograph hand is black, providing contrast against the light dial surface. Tritium luminous points are present, showing a yellow patina consistent with the watch's age.

Evidence for this section
  • “قاب این ساعت از جنس فولاد ضدزنگ با قطر ۳۷ میلی‌متر ساخته شده و ساختار پایه‌ها (Lugs) ضخیم و متقارن است.”
  • “تاج ساعت دارای نشان برند Hamilton در سمت چپ قاب قرار گرفته و دو دکمه پمپی کرنوگراف در سمت راست تعبیه شده‌اند.”
  • “صفحه مات ساعت با طرح موسوم به «پاندا» (زمینه‌ی سفید با دو زیرصفحه مشکی) طراحی شده”

Movement and Technical Background

This model is powered by the Caliber 11 movement, which features an internal micro-rotor. This movement is the product of a collaborative effort from the 1960s involving Hamilton, Heuer, and Breitling, often associated with the secret technical development program known as 'Project 99'.

The movement contains 17 jewels. According to the auction description, while the watch maintains time appropriately, its specific service history remains unknown.

Evidence for this section
  • “مکانیزم ساعت نیز مجهز به کالیبر ۱۱ با میکروروتور داخلی است”
  • “ماحصل تلاش این ائتلاف، توسعه موتور پیشگامانه کالیبر ۱۱ بود”
  • “ساعت کارکرد مناسبی در نگهداری زمان دارد اما سابقه سرویس آن نامشخص گزارش شده است.”

Condition and Authenticity

The dial is reported to be free of significant damage, although the sub-dials exhibit mild natural color changes commensurate with age. UV light inspection indicates that the luminous material on the minute hand has been lost, while the hour hand retains its original ivory-colored luminous material.

The auction house clarifies that it has not performed independent authentication of parts or verification of the mechanical performance, and all provided specifications rely on documentation from the original seller.

Evidence for this section
  • “صفحه مات ساعت فاقد هرگونه آسیب‌دیدگی گزارش شده، هرچند زیرصفحه‌ها دارای تغییر رنگ خفیف طبیعی متناسب با سن خود هستند.”
  • “طبق بررسی زیر نور فرابنفش، ماده شب‌نمای عقربه دقیقه به طور کامل از بین رفته است”
  • “وب‌سایت زمانیتو بررسی مستقلی در خصوص اصالت قطعات، کارکرد دقیق یا سابقه تعمیرات انجام نداده است”

Open research questions

  • What is the specific production range for the 11002-3 reference within the Hamilton Chrono-Matic lineup?
  • Does the current movement serial number verify an early 1969 production batch?
