Milgauss Vintage Rolex

The Rolex Milgauss is a peculiar model manufactured for professionals who had to work under highly magnetic conditions. The watches feature a faraday cage to protect the movement against magnetic forces in excess of 1000 gauss. Early examples featured rotating bezels similar to the Submariner, and a lightning bolt shaped seconds hand. The second model of the Milgauss featured a large oyster shaped case with fixed bezel and black or silver dial. They were not very popular at the time, hence their low production numbers and high collectability.
