The Rolex Milgauss 116400 represents a purpose built tool watch that blends performance with style perfectly. First created in 1956, the Milgauss was built for engineers and scientists who would frequently encounter magnetic fields. The sensitive hairspring of a mechanical movement, is susceptible to adverse consequences of such magnetism, so Rolex offered the Milgauss, which was resistant to magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss. The reference 116400 Milgauss continues that tradition, remaining exceptionally resistant to magnetic fields. This Milgauss is also supremely practical thanks to its easy wearability (40mm case), and highly legible dial, which is offered in a variety of colors, from blue/green, to white and black. It’s a time-only watch with a Rolex built 3131 automatic chronometer movement. Our favorite part? The trademark lightning bolt seconds hand. Retail price of the Rolex Milgauss 116400 is $8,200, with pre-owned examples selling between $5,000 and $8,000 depending on the dial color.
