The Rolex Milgauss was specifically engineered to cater to the unique needs of the scientific community, offering unparalleled resistance to magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss. In environments where ordinary mechanical watches falter due to magnetic interference—typically around 50 to 100 gauss—scientists often encounter much higher levels of magnetism in their research activities. Rolex responded to this challenge with the Milgauss, pioneering a new category of timepieces with exceptional magnetic resistance. This innovation is reflected in its name, with “mille” translating to “thousand” in French, indicating its capacity to withstand up to 1,000 gauss. The Milgauss has earned a distinguished reputation, especially among the scientific staff at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, where it is celebrated for its robustness and precision in high-magnetic-field environments.
