There are numerous options within this line, which makes it easy to find the perfect version of the watch for your taste and style. The version we feature here has all the classic design elements you expect of a Milgauss, with a unique white dial.
Unique Design Features
One of the great things about Rolex watches is that almost every line has a few design features that are unique to that line. It is what makes certain models really easy to recognize. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with someone recognizing your high-end and elegant watch. Rolex is a really unique brand in that they hold patents on a wide range of elements that will feature in their watches. Many of these elements are functional, such as mechanisms and movements. But others include unique metal blends, bracelet configurations, and more. What this means is that what you get from Rolex really is unique and one-of-a-kind.
With the Milgauss line of watches by Rolex, you get quite a few unique design features. First and foremost are the inner workings of the watch which feature Rolex-exclusive shields that allow it to protect the inner mechanisms from magnetic fields. But there are also easy-to-spot features as well. One of the most recognizable is the lightning bolt-shaped second hand. It is almost always in bright orange, which is another feature of this elegant and unique line of watches. The lightning bolt is a design that hearkens back to the original Milgauss model from the 1950s.
A Scientific Watch
The Milgauss line of watches is quite a bit different from your traditional high-end watch. One of the things that have always set Rolex apart from other companies is its dedication to innovation and providing for the needs of scientists of all stripes. The line of watches we feature here is one that hearkens back to the early days of particle physics research. Scientists in this field would have exposure to a range of unique elements that most timepieces just couldn’t withstand.
Most specifically was magnetic fields. Working in a particle accelerator would expose these individuals, and any hardware they may be wearing, to intense magnetic fields that could cause irreparable damage to said hardware. Rolex set out to design a watch that could withstand these elements and still function optimally. It took science to come up with a solution. Science, as always, helps other sciences. With some innovative design, Rolex came up with the Milgauss which features a really unique shield that protects the internal workings of the watch from the intense magnetism that these scientists would face. And the thing is, you don’t have to be a scientist to appreciate a watch that can withstand even the most extreme elements.
Rolex Innovation
Rolex is likely one of the first brands you think of when you consider high-end watches. But you should also think of Rolex when it comes to innovation and cutting-edge design. Creating some of the most cutting-edge timepieces, that are still elegant and beautiful, has long been a focus of the Rolex company. And they continue to make good on this effort. To do this, they will work with people who have careers in unique and trying environments. The company will find solutions that will allow them to create a watch that meets these unique needs. These elements will then find their way into almost every Rolex watch.
This means that even if you don’t get one of the purpose-built timepieces, you are still getting technology that was pioneered in those pieces. And the Milgauss is one of those watch lines that combines cutting-edge technology with elegant design. The fact that Rolex holds a wide range of patents on elements that feature in their watches is just another way that what you get from Rolex really is one-of-a-kind.
The Rolex Milgauss Line
The Milgauss line of watches by Rolex is one of the most cutting-edge and precise lines you can find on the market today. This is a purpose-built watch that is meant to withstand the rigors of certain scientific environments. The name comes from the French word for one thousand, mille. That is because when the watch saw its first introduction in 1956, it was resistant to magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss.
This was really cutting-edge at the time and continues to be to this day. There are a few design elements that are consistent across different versions of the watch. First and foremost are the clean lines and elegant profile. The watch also features a lightning bolt-shaped second hand. This is an homage to the original version of the watch and makes it recognizable on sight.
Rolex would work with the particle physics laboratory, CERN, to ensure that these watches could meet the various needs of this unique environment.
The latest versions of the Milgauss feature a synthetic scratch-proof sapphire crystal. This makes the watch incredibly easy to read, even in lower lighting conditions. The hour markers boast a luminescent material that gives a clear blue glow when the lighting conditions diminish.
It is the resistance to magnetic fields that really sets this watch apart from others. Made from ferromagnetic alloys, it contains a shield that protects the movement from magnetic fields and interference.
The latest version of the Milgauss features a Calibre 3131. This is a Rolex-exclusive mechanism that is meant to be precise, durable, and reliable. The way the mechanism is designed provides a huge amount of stability, even in conditions that entail fluctuating temperatures.
Cutting-Edge
Whether or not you are a scientist, we know that you can appreciate a timepiece that is on the cutting edge of science and engineering.
