Rolex has been designing watches for Pilots and explorers, but when Rolex debuted the Milgauss collection in 1956, it was a significant advancement for the scientific community. Rolex developed the model while partnering with the scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva. Rolex rigorously tested the Milgauss which helped them to make components for the movement and case that would serve as an anti-magnetic shield for the watch. The reliability of astandard mechanical watch gets affected by a magnetic field ranging fromonly 50 to 100 gauss. But many scientists are exposed to a much higher amount of magnetic field during their work. Thus, the Milgauss is here for them. It is strong enough to handle magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss. Thus, Rolex came up with a solution- The Milgauss — the first watch of its kind.Rolex Milgauss 116400 White Index 116400WO Orange Stainless Steel- Discontinued Model $11,500.00 Condition Unworn Box/Papers Box & Papers Brand Rolex Production Year 2010-Current Model Number 116400 Series Milgauss Model Year 2006-current Modern Rolex Crown Screw Down Bezel Stainless Steel Domed Movement Automatic Case Back Solid Material Stainless Steel Case Size 40 mm Case Shape Round Dial Type Analog Dial Color White Dial Markers Index Hands Luminous Band Material Stainless Steel Clasp Folding Oysterclasp Bracelet Oyster Bracelet Type Heavy: New Style The unique name Milgauss is derived from the French word ‘mille’ which means one-thousand, and ‘gauss,’ the unit of a magnetic field.
