The Rolex Milgauss is a wristwatch model produced by Rolex, known for its resistance to magnetic fields. The name “Milgauss” is a combination of the words “mille” (thousand) and “gauss” (a unit of magnetic induction). This watch was originally designed for scientists and engineers working in environments with high electromagnetic fields, where traditional watches could be affected.
Key features of the Rolex Milgauss include:
1. **Anti-Magnetic Properties**: The Milgauss is designed to resist magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss, thanks to a soft iron inner case that shields the movement.
2. **Distinctive Design**: The Milgauss has a unique aesthetic with its lightning bolt-shaped second hand, which is a nod to its scientific purpose.
3. **Water Resistance**: Like many Rolex watches, the Milgauss is water-resistant, typically up to 100 meters (330 feet).
4. **Movement**: The Milgauss is powered by Rolex’s in-house movement, which is known for its accuracy and reliability.
5. **Variants**: Over the years, Rolex has released different versions of the Milgauss with various dial colors and materials.
The Rolex Milgauss is considered a tool watch, designed for a specific purpose rather than just for fashion. It’s a popular choice among those who appreciate its unique design and technical capabilities.
