Magnetic fields can be found wherever electric currents abound—in all electrical appliances, audio speakers, and also if you happen to inexplicably find yourself near a power plant.  For most self-winding watches, magnetic fields can potentially disrupt their ability to function accurately as parts in the movement become magnetized.  That said, if there’s one watch built to withstand a highly magnetic environment, it’s the Rolex Milgauss 116400GV (available at authorized Rolex dealers for $6,575).  The Rolex Milgauss is waterproof up to 100 meters and resistant to a magnetic flux density of 1,000 gauss, remaining impeccably precise even in the presence of significant magnetic fields.  As much as we appreciate its technical features, it’s really the green sapphire crystal offset by a smooth polished steel bezel framing a black dial with orange numbering that makes the Rolex Milgauss a watch worth coveting.  The difficult part remains finding the elusive Milgauss as production numbers remain low.  Though we generally recommend buying from authorized retailers such as Wempe (who will take down your information and contact you when one becomes available), if you must have the Rolex Milgauss now, there are other means available.
