Rolex Milgauss 1019 Black - from 1969
rare black dial - top condition - caliber 1580
SoldFrom a technical point of view, the Rolex Milgauss, which was introduced for the first time in 1956, marks an important milestone in the watch industry. It was the first wristwatch that delivered reliable rate values in an environment with strong magnetic fields. The model name Milgauss is derived from the magnetic flux density of 1000 Gauss that the Milgauss could withstand. This property was particularly useful for people who were in an environment with strong magnetic fields, such as scientists and engineers.
What makes this Milgauss so special is its breathtaking condition. The stainless steel case has intact lugs and hardly any scratches. The black dial, which is rarer than the silver version, is absolutely clean and flawless. Every single lume dot is intact. "T SWISS T" inscription under the 6 o'clock mark refers to tritium. The luminous material in the hour markers and hands is original and intact. The acrylic crystal has few scratches that cannot be seen with the naked eye. The watch is powered by the Rolex automatic caliber 1580. The movement is in perfect condition. The Milgauss is accompanied by a Rolex Oyster bracelet. The bracelet reference number is 78360, clasp code PJ10 and end links 558B.
Overall, a historically important and rare wristwatch in top condition.
