Description of the Watch
The Rolex Milgauss 116400GV-0002 is a testament to Rolex's commitment to innovation and precision. Designed for professionals working in environments with strong magnetic fields, this timepiece combines technical prowess with distinctive aesthetics. Its unique Z-Blue dial and green sapphire crystal make it a standout in the luxury watch segment.
Overview
Introduced in 2014, the Milgauss 116400GV-0002 continues the legacy of the original Milgauss models from the 1950s, which were engineered to resist magnetic interference. This modern iteration maintains the antimagnetic properties while introducing contemporary design elements, making it both functional and visually striking.
Design and Craftsmanship
The watch features a 40mm Oystersteel case, known for its durability and corrosion resistance. The Z-Blue dial, exclusive to this model, offers a vibrant backdrop, complemented by luminous hour markers and the iconic orange lightning bolt-shaped seconds hand. The green-tinted sapphire crystal not only adds a unique hue but also enhances legibility.
