For sale at Debonar Watches: pre-owned Rolex Milgauss ref. 116400, full set. The Milgauss is constructed like any Rolex watches – robust yet handsome. The 40mm timepiece straddles between being a tool watch and a rather versatile timepiece – suitable for both casual and more formal occasion. A bit of its story: first released as the Reference 6543 in 1954, the Rolex Milgauss was designed for function every bit as much as the Submariner or Daytona.Although not the first antimagnetic wristwatch, a title that belongs to the 1930 Tissot Antimagnetique, the Milgauss significantly increased a movement’s capacity to withstand magnetism.The exact history is convoluted, but a certain level of collaboration between Rolex and CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, led to a watch that could withstand 1,000, or mil, gauss.
