The ’50s bore a slew of Swiss fake Rolex tool watches, including the very popular GMT-Master and the Submariner – but a lesser known reference is the Milgauss. One theory as to why the Milgauss hasn’t achieved household name status could be due to the industry it initially aligned with. The perfect replica Rolex GMT-Master was synonymous with air travel, the Submariner with diving – two exceedingly popular fields at the time – whereas the 1:1 replica Rolex Milgauss was created for… scientists.
Although the model itself has evolved since its 1956 launch, the heart of the luxury replica Rolex Milgauss remains the same, intrinsically tied to its name which boasts how many magnetic fields it can withstand: mille (French for one thousand) gauss (a unit of magnetic induction). Anti-magnetism was essential to work in the scientific and technological fields of the day, and aaa quality copy Rolex went as far as to partner with CERN (the European Organisation for Nuclear Research) to test these properties. Over 65 years later, the partnership continues today.
Aesthetically speaking, the first iteration of the Swiss movement replica Rolex Milgauss bears more similarity to a Submariner, with the exciting addition of a lightning bolt seconds-hand. From then on, it underwent a few facelifts – with certain references, like ’60s minimal Milgauss 1019 becoming beloved in the collecting community – resulting ultimately in 2014’s high quality fake Rolex Milgauss ‘Z-Blue’ we know and love today – with its famous blue-green crystal. With the decline in air travel (sweatpants replacing suits as daily flight wear, exit doors flying off of Boeing 737s), perhaps it’s time we turn science as an industry we can honour with our tool fake watches online, and in this spirit, why not turn to a top quality fake Rolex Milgauss? Tom Hanks – an early adapter – is certainly on board.
