Rolex Milgauss
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss is a wristwatch model introduced by Rolex in 1956 with model number 6541. The Milgauss was designed as an antimagnetic watch specifically for those who worked in power plants, medical facilities and research labs (like CERN in Geneva) where electromagnetic fields can cause havoc with the timing of a watch. The current (post-2007) model Milgauss is equipped with amagnetic alloy (Parachrom-Blu) hairspring〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E3lEiFUmVM&feature=player_embedded#at=66〕 and movement encased by a magnetic shield, most likely composed of a high magnetic permeability material (see Mu-metal or Permalloy). The name ''Milgauss'' is derived from the Latin ''mille'', which means one-thousand, and ''gauss'', the unit of a magnetic field. This model is so named because it can withstand a magnetic flux density of 1,000 gauss.〔The Rolex Report pg. 60 by John E. Brozek〕
== Original model ==
The original Milgauss was very similar to the appearance of the Rolex Submariner, with an oversized case and bezel, with the Twinlock crown, and a riveted Oyster bracelet. Although the Milgauss only went through two different models (6541, 1019) the Milgauss went through numerous configuration changes before being discontinued in 1988.
The Milgauss remains a sought after model amongst Rolex collectors due to its relatively low sales and popularity during the 1960s and 70s,〔http://timetapestry.blogspot.com/2008/10/rolex-milgauss-classy-beauty.html〕 it has become rare in today's vintage watch market. A vintage Milgauss signed by Tiffany & Co. recently sold for over $32,000.〔http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2009/4/16/a-vintage-rolex-milgauss-signed-by-tiffany-co-try-to-contain.html〕
