Certified Pre-Owned Rolex Milgauss

About the Rolex Milgauss

The Milgauss was built in 1956 for scientists: people working near generators, medical imaging and particle accelerators, where magnetic fields stop an ordinary mechanical watch keeping time. The name is literal, from mille gauss, and the movement sits inside a soft iron shield that holds off fields up to 1,000 gauss.

The lightning bolt seconds hand is the signature, and the watch has always been an oddity in the catalogue. Rolex has since discontinued it, so every Milgauss is now a pre-owned watch.

What to look for in a pre-owned Milgauss

Crystal

Some versions carry a green-tinted sapphire crystal, which Rolex developed for this watch and used nowhere else. It is unmistakable in daylight.

Dial

Black, white and the electric blue Z-Blue dial. The Z-Blue is the one most people picture.

Shielding

The soft iron shield is the whole point of the watch, and it is what makes the case thicker than it looks in photographs.
