Rolex Milgauss

The original Rolex Milgauss - Reference 6451 - was introduced in 1954 during an age of rapid advancement in engineering, mechanics, and technology. The Milgauss was Rolex's answer to protecting their movements to magnetic fields created in a variety of high-tech industrial applications. The line subsequently saw a variety of iterations released in the 1960s and 70s, before it suddenly halted in 1988 with little notice. As time wore on, however, collectors and enthusiasts became drawn to the Milgauss story and began collecting vintage examples - as collectors are wont to do! It was therefore a welcome surprise to the wristwatch community that Rolex chose to reintroduce the Milgauss for 2007. This particular example, a Reference 116400GV (V for verde), dates to circa 2012 and features an outstanding stainless steel Oyster case, a black dial with luminous baton indices, the very distinctive orange 'lightning bolt' seconds hand, a matching Oyster bracelet with an Easylink clasp, and the love-it-or-hate-it green sapphire crystal! Furthermore, this watch comes with its warranty card dated 1/13/2012. This watch remains in excellent condition and is surprisingly versatile on the wrist for daily wear!
