ROLEX Milgauss, 40mm, Automatic Calibre 3131, 116400GV

The Rolex Milgauss 116400GV pairs a black dial with a green sapphire crystal and an orange lightning-bolt seconds hand. Rolex originally designed the Milgauss for people working around strong magnetic fields and revived the model in 2007. This version keeps the smooth bezel and clean proportions of a 40mm Oyster case, with the green edge of the crystal most noticeable when the watch catches the light.

The Rolex Calibre 3131 is a self-winding mechanical movement with a 48-hour power reserve. A magnetic shield surrounds the movement, helping the Milgauss resist fields of up to 1,000 gauss. The movement also has stop-seconds for precise setting, and its time-only display keeps the black dial uninterrupted by a date window.

Key Features

• Magnetically shielded Calibre 3131 — The shield is the engineering behind the Milgauss name and gives this time-only Rolex a purpose beyond its distinctive dial.
• Black dial with orange details — The lightning-bolt seconds hand picks up the orange minute numerals and the hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock.
• 40mm Oyster case — The smooth bezel keeps the case understated, giving the dial and crystal the strongest visual presence.
• Green sapphire crystal — The tint is most pronounced around the edge, where it creates a narrow green rim around the black dial.
• Oyster bracelet — Polished centre links pick up the finish of the bezel, while brushed outer links soften the look across the wrist.

The black-dial Milgauss suits someone who wants the familiar feel of a steel Rolex with a less conventional dial. The green crystal and orange seconds hand give it a character all its own.
