Rolex Milgauss 116400GV 2017 Blue Dial

The Rolex Milgauss 116400GV is not just a watch; it's a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and time-honored tradition of the Rolex name. Encased in a 40mm case diameter, this remarkable timepiece boasts of a unique Z-Blue dial, a striking lightning bolt-shaped seconds hand, and a verdant green sapphire crystal; a unique blend of style and function that sets it apart.

The Z-Blue dial is an exclusive trait of the Milgauss collection, exhibiting a unique shade of blue that is just as captivating as it is distinctive. But the Milgauss 116400GV isn't just all about aesthetics. It's a machine crafted with precision, meant to withstand the rigors of daily use and the tough demands of time.

Its most notable feature is its antimagnetic construction which was one of the defining features of the original Milgauss. This includes a meticulously crafted antimagnetic hairspring and magnetic shield that keeps the watch's mechanism protected and accurate, even in the face of strong magnetic fields.

The fascinating history of the Rolex Milgauss dates back to 1956, with the launch of the original Milgauss model 6541. At that time, it was one of the pioneering watches equipped with an anti-magnetic shield. Although the initial demand for these remarkable timepieces was limited, leading Rolex to discontinue the production of the initial Milgauss, the brand re-introduced a new and improved Milgauss in 2007.

One of the exciting features of the re-introduced Milgauss was the incorporation of a lightning bolt shape for the seconds hand, a playful yet daring addition that added charisma to the watch's allure. However, the icing on the cake was the installation of a green sapphire crystal on some of the watches, a detail that Rolex christened as the "Glace Verte." This choice of color and material gave the watch a refreshing and unique touch that was both appealing and distinctive.

In 2014, Rolex added another feather to its cap with the creation of a Milgauss sporting a blue dial. This decision added another layer of intrigue to the already alluring Milgauss and paved the way for a legend to be born. The Rolex Milgauss 116400GV, with its potent combination of style, history, and exceptional construction, embodies the unique spirit of Rolex – a testament to uncompromised quality and timeless style.
