Here we offer you a Rolex Milgauss 1019 from 1979 with a black dial.
In 1956, Rolex developed a mechanical scientist's watch, which would operate in environments with high strength magnetic fields. The model name Milgauss is a combination of the French word thousand, mille, and the unit Gauss. The Rolex Milgauss was able to withstand magnetic fields up to 1,000 Gauss. In "normal" mechanical watches magnetism can significantly affect the precision of the movement and wrap crucial parts of the watch. The Rolex Milgauss was a very important technical step of the watch industry.
This particular watch dates back to 1979 and has a black dial that has been preserved flawlessly. The excellent condition makes this important watch even more valuable. The tritium lume in the hour markers and hands is original and intact. The Oyster case looks unpolished. Also, the Oyster bracelet is in a rarely worn condition and has hardly any scratches. The bracelet reference is 78360, the end links 580. The driving force of the watch is the automatic in-house Rolex caliber 1580.
This Rolex Milgauss 1019 is a reliable companion on all occasions and a high collectable vintage watch.
