| The Rolex Milgauss is one of Rolex’s most niched watches. Introduced in 1956, the Milgauss was designed as an anti-magnetic watch especially for those who worked near magnetic fields, such as medical facilities, power plants, and research laboratories.
It did become popular among people in scientific fields, and eventually, watch circles and even Hollywood, caught on. They may not need its magnetic resistance of up to 1,000 gauss, but its classic looks and quirky colors sure gained some famous fans.
Check out the celebrities who love their Rolex Milgauss:
Jake Gyllenhaal wearing the Rolex Milgauss Black Dial
We spotted Jake wearing the ref 116400GV with a black dial and green sapphire crystal. This anniversary edition, introduced in 2007, features the specially developed “glace verte” crystal, which gives the black dial a green halo.
More playful details complete the look – from the orange and bright white luminous baton markers, to the signature lightning bolt seconds hand of the Milgauss. Video from AOL Build
<> Other celebrities who wear this edition of the Rolex Milgauss are Daniel Craig, Tom Hanks, Usher, Eric Clapton, Will Ferrell, and Jonah Hill.
Justin Timberlake wearing the Rolex Milgauss Z-Blue Dial
For his guesting on The Ellen Show, Justin Timberlake put on the ref 116400GV with a “Z-Blue” dial. This colorful dial comes in sunburst finish and a unique blue-green shade.
This model takes after the black dial 116400GV, and also comes with a striking scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a green tint. The orange lighting bold seconds hand is a nod to the Milgauss models from the 1950s. NFL star Tom Brady also wears this edition of the Rolex Milgauss. Video from The Ellen Show
The white dial and orange luminous hour markers of this Rolex Milgauss is a playful take on this scientific marvel. It fits Ashton’s youthful style with its unconventional qualities – the kooky orange lighting bolt and matching orange hour and minute markers. Video from CNN
Jennifer Aniston wearing the Rolex Milgauss Stainless Steel Black Dial
The Rolex Milgauss is marketed as a men’s watch, but it has also gained fans in female celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Nicky Hilton. The 40mm case means it’s not too big for a woman’s wrist, while the stunning contrast of this black dial Rolex Milgauss makes it an eye-catching, stylish sport watch. Jen even had hers customized to a PVD version. Photos from Rolex Magazine
In an interview with @FondationHH Jennifer Aniston said her favorite piece was the gold Rolex Day-Date, but also: “I enjoy wearing my Milgauss or my white Lady Datejust. No matter what event I’m attending, no matter what I’m wearing, these are watches that never go out of style.” pic.twitter.com/irGygBKG7q
