Rolex Milgauss Steel Black Dial Ref: 116400GV 2021

*Discontinued*

The Rolex Milgauss Steel Black Dial Ref. 116400GV is one of Rolex’s most distinctive tool watches, purpose-built for scientists and engineers working in high-electromagnetic environments. Introduced in 2007 as the modern revival of the original 1956 Milgauss, the 116400GV (“GV” stands for Glace Verte) is instantly recognizable thanks to its green-tinted sapphire crystal—a first in watchmaking—paired with a clean black dial, orange accents, and the iconic lightning bolt seconds hand. Its key complication is its anti-magnetic construction, achieved through a soft-iron Faraday cage that protects the Calibre 3131 movement from magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss (hence the name Milgauss). The movement is a COSC-certified chronometer with a 48-hour power reserve, Parachrom hairspring, and high shock resistance, ensuring exceptional reliability. Historically, the Milgauss was developed for CERN scientists and became known as the ultimate watch for precision in magnetic-rich environments. Within the Rolex lineup, the 116400GV occupies a niche position as a professional tool watch that blends scientific heritage with playful design cues, making it a favourite among enthusiasts seeking a Rolex with both technical credibility and unique character.
