In the 1960s, Hamilton had a line of watches using the Buren microrotor movement. In the USA, these were marketed as Thin-o-matic. In Europe, they were marketed as Intramatic (to the best of our historical knowledge).
The brand has reused this historic term on two current but separate model lines. One is a slim Bauhaus dress line and the other is a line of chronographs. Ironically, none of the new models are microrotor and some aren’t even automatic.

This is your semi-regular reminder that @Davemcc knows stuff.
