Rolex Milgauss

The Milgauss is Rolex's only antimagnetic model, created for professionals such as doctors and scientists who work in strong magnetic fields. The name is derived from the French word mil, meaning "thousand," and the unit of magnetic flux density gauss, and it can withstand up to 1,000 gauss. The movement is wrapped in a soft iron inner shield, and the lightning bolt-shaped second hand and green sapphire crystal emphasize its individuality. It blocks the magnetic force emitted by medical equipment and research facilities, and the blue Parachrom hairspring maintains accuracy. The 40 mm case and smooth bezel go well with suits, and the playful second hand stands out. After production ended around 1988, it was revived in 2007 with the GV specification, but will be discontinued again in 2023. The second-hand market is strong due to the long-awaited next-generation model and its rarity.
