Like the different tool watches Rolex manufactured over the years, the reference 1019 was introduced in 1956 to meet the demands of the scientific research, in which watches have to remain accurate in environments of experiencing high magnetic fields. Capable of withstanding magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss, the model is also named the Milgauss.
