Often over the course of their day, scientists and engineers are repeatedly exposed to magnetic fields of over 100 gauss, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of a watch’s movement. Deriving its name from the French word for one thousand, mille, the Rolex Milgauss 116400 is the first of its kind and has been the watch used by scientists and engineers since 1956.
Originally manufactured like a Rolex Submariner in appearance, the Milgauss 116400 design has since developed to a sleeker look. Powered by an in house perpetual bidirectional self winding mechanical movement, the Rolex Milgauss has a magnetic shield protection of up to 1,000 gauss, 40mm diameter case, mono-bloc middle case, screw down case back with winding crown, scratch resistant sapphire glass, center hour, minute, and orange
lightning bolt seconds hands with precise time setting. Equipped with a screw down twin lock double waterproofness system, the 116400 Rolex Milgauss is waterproof up to 100 meters.
The Rolex Milgauss watch strap is an original Rolex Oyster Bracelet with the easy link extension folding clasp. This clever watch band allows 5mm extension for comfort and optimal utilization.
Although the white dial Rolex Milgauss 116400 is still in production, the black dial Rolex Milgauss 116400 has been discontinued since 2014 and replaced with the Milgauss 116400GV model.
