Out of all Rolex models there are some that people are not that familiar with. One of these models is the Rolex Milgauss. Introduced in 1956 with model number 6451, the Milgauss was designed as an anti magnetic watch specifically for those who worked in power plants, medical facilities and research labs where electromagnetic fields can cause havoc with the timing of a watch. The name Milgauss comes from the latin mille, which means one thousand and Gauss, the unit of a magnetic field. This model is named Milgauss, because it can withstand a magnetic flux density of 1,000 gauss.
The original model looked very similar to the Submariner, with a bigger case and bezel. The watch had two different models until being discontinued in 1988. Almost 20 years later, Rolex brought the Milgauss back with the model 116400. The current model is made with a 904L polished stainless steel, an alloy that is extremely resistant to scratches and corrosion nad comes in three different versions, the white dial, the black dial or the Annivesary model with black dial of a slightly different design and a green-tinted sapphire crystal.The Milgauss unique feature is the orange lightning-bolt second-hand.
