Catalogue Note

The two distinctive features of the Rolex Milgauss REF. 116400 are the green sapphire glass and the orange lightning bolt shaped second hand. This model is also known for its abillity to resist 1,000 Gauss.

When a mechaniscal watch is exposed to a strong magnetic field, this causes the mechanism to run fast and will need to be demagnetized. A watch is normally considered "antimagnetic" if it has the ability to resist 60 gauss (unit of magnetic flux density in a magnetic field); and this present example well exceed the requirement.
