Rolex Milgauss

Why we love the Rolex Milgauss

The Rolex Milgauss 116400GV is one of the most distinctive and technically fascinating watches in the modern Rolex lineup. Originally designed in the 1950s for scientists and engineers working in high-magnetic environments, the Milgauss was built to resist magnetic interference up to 1,000 gauss—hence its name. The 116400GV (“Glace Verte” = Green Glass) version takes that legacy a step further with its striking green sapphire crystal, a world first when it launched in 2007. Beneath it, the vibrant electric-blue is paired with the iconic orange lightning-bolt seconds hand, paying homage to the original model. We love this watch because it celebrates Rolex’s spirit of innovation and individuality—it’s a bold, unconventional design that stands apart from the crowd while remaining unmistakably Rolex. With its anti-magnetic protection, robust Oyster case, and unique visual identity, the Milgauss 116400GV is a perfect blend of science, style, and sophistication.
