Paul du Toit wears a Hamilton American Classic

Paul du Toit plays the villain Hargear in My Spy: The Eternal City, the 2024 sequel to the Dave Bautista spy comedy directed by Peter Segal and set in Rome. The Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Chronograph H on his wrist is reference H38429710. A 40mm steel case, a white dial with three black subdials, and the H-51 caliber inside, which is a hand-wound chronograph movement Hamilton developed specifically for the line. 60-hour power reserve, column-wheel chronograph, vintage proportions.

Whoever dressed the character chose a watch that reads as cultured rather than threatening. A manual-wind chronograph requires daily winding. There is something deliberate about that for a villain, a man who starts each day with an intentional mechanical ritual.

The Intra-Matic line is Hamilton's mid-century-revival family, sitting between the military Khakis and the Ventura. The H model is the chronograph execution, and it has been turning up in films and television steadily since Hamilton repositioned the brand around cinema placements in the late 2010s.
