It is common knowledge to almost anybody with any experience with luxury watches that Rolex produces some of the most well-made and durable watches known to man. A watch that exemplifies this commitment to quality engineering and durability is the Rolex Milgauss.
Milgauss is the conjunction of two French words, mille, meaning one thousand and gauss, which is the unit of measurement for the strength of a magnetic field. Of course, the name of the watch identifies one of the most compelling features it has. The Rolex Milgauss has been tested to be able to withstand magnetic fields of up to one thousand gauss. This feat of engineering was at the time unique among watches, with no watch ever having a movement that was so robust.
The claims that Rolex made over 55 years ago when the Milgauss was first released were tested to the highest level, with the watch being tested by CERN, probably Europes most advanced scientific facility. The name was proven to be a fact, when the Milgauss continued to keep perfect time at one thousand Gauss.
In 2007 several new models of Milgauss were released by Rolex, with probably the most striking design for a Milgauss being one of them. The Milgauss GV, which stands for “Glace Verteâ€, is a Green Rolex Milgauss. The GV has green tinted crystal covering the dial and is one of the most uniquely designed Rolex watches you will ever see. The GV has been one of the most popular Milgauss models to date, probably thanks to this striking, yet still very appealing design.
