Pre-Owned 40mm Rolex Milgauss (116400)
The Rolex Milgauss is a wristwatch known for its durability and resistance to magnetic fields. It was first introduced in 1956 and was specifically designed for professionals working in environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as scientists and engineers. The name “Milgauss” is a portmanteau of “mille” (French for a thousand) and “gauss” (a unit of magnetic induction), signifying its ability to withstand up to 1,000 gauss of magnetic force.
The initial model featured a distinctive lightning bolt-shaped second hand and a unique anti-magnetic shield. In 2007, Rolex re-released the Milgauss with a modern design, including a green-tinted sapphire crystal and an orange lightning bolt second hand. Over the years, it has become a symbol of scientific achievement and remains a popular choice among collectors and professionals who require a timepiece with magnetic resistance, combining Rolex’s signature precision with innovative technology.
