Rolex Milgauss 40mm Black Dial Green Crystal Automatic Watch

Rolex Milgauss 40mm Black Dial Green Crystal Automatic Watch

The Rolex Milgauss with black dial and green sapphire crystal is the most faithful expression of the model’s original spirit — a purpose-built antimagnetic tool watch that has become one of the most distinctive and beloved references in the Rolex catalogue. Discontinued in 2023, it is now an increasingly rare and sought-after collector’s piece.

Key Features

• Black Dial with Yellow Luminescent Indices — A bold, high-contrast dial with large rectangular luminescent hour markers and orange numerals on the chapter ring, optimised for legibility in any environment.
• Iconic Green Sapphire Crystal — The Milgauss’s signature tinted green crystal — scratch-resistant and anti-reflective — gives the watch its unmistakable profile from any angle.
• Orange Lightning Bolt Seconds Hand — The Milgauss’s defining detail: a lightning bolt-shaped seconds hand that references the model’s heritage in high-electromagnetic scientific environments.
• Antimagnetic Inner Shield — A soft-iron cage surrounds the movement, protecting it from magnetic fields up to 1,000 gauss — far beyond standard watchmaking requirements.
• Automatic Calibre 3131 — Rolex’s in-house movement featuring a Parachrom hairspring for enhanced shock and temperature resistance, COSC-certified to -2/+2 seconds per day.
• 904L Oystersteel Case & Oyster Bracelet — Smooth polished bezel, solid three-link bracelet with Oysterclasp — built to Rolex’s exacting standards of durability and refinement.
• 100m Water Resistance — Screw-down Twinlock crown ensures reliable protection against water in everyday use.
• 40mm Case Diameter — A substantial yet wearable size that carries the Milgauss design with natural authority.

A Discontinued Reference, Now Rarer Than Ever

Rolex ceased production of the Milgauss in 2023, making all remaining stock finite. The black dial 116400GV is the original, “pure” Milgauss colourway — preferred by purists who value the model’s tool-watch heritage over the showmanship of the Z-Blue. With increasing scarcity and strong collector demand, values on the secondary market continue to strengthen. Presented with original Rolex box, documentation, and warranty card.

Science, Style, and Scarcity

Born at CERN, refined over decades, and now discontinued — the Rolex Milgauss occupies a unique chapter in watchmaking history. Owning one means owning a piece of that story. The black dial variant, in particular, is the reference that started it all.
