A watch forged out of the nuclear age, the Rolex Milgauss. Scientists of this era performed their research in highly controlled nuclear facilities that were constantly in a highly magnetized environment, deeming most watches useless. The Rolex Milgauss was created when the scientists of the CERN nuclear research facility, just outside of Geneva Switzerland, reached out to Rolex to manufacture a watch that would withstand high magnetization. A name derived from the watches sole function. The watch can withstand 1000 gauss of magnetism, mille = 1000, hence the name Milgauss. This allowed the scientist of CERN and other scientists of the era to go about their daily professions and accurately time their experiments. A simple watch aesthetically, being a matte black dial with stick markers and geometric hands, a smooth outer bezel in a modest 38mm case. The Milgauss has elements of charm with red text and a red-tipped sweep second hand. Traditionally worn on bracelet the Rolex Milgauss Ref. 1019 is loved by collectors for it's simplistic, but striking no-nonsense design.
