Build Your Watch Collection: Rolex Milgauss “Z-Blue”

“Z Blue” Milgauss

Rolex, known for it's classic, conservative style, has created yet another quirky touch to one of its most desired timepieces. Milgauss (meaning 1000 Gauss in French), was a line of watches first introduced in 1956 as the perfect anti magnetic watch. Nicknamed “Z Blue,” this Milgauss has been given a new metallic blue watch face that is complemented by the line's unique green-tinted sapphire crystal.

Materials:

Everything about the Milgauss has the Rolex signature touch. Crafted with the watchmaker's iconic 904L steel, this timepiece looks incredible and is extremely durable. Everything from the bracelet to the screw-down crown ensure that its beauty and resistance to wear will last a lifetime. And with its in-house movements, scratch-resistant sapphire, and magnetic shield, we expected nothing less from a classic Rolex.
 

Design:

Although it's stunning, the blue Milgauss is not always a favorite at first glance. The unusual pairing of green, blue, and orange on the dial could feel random. But when you really look into the orange minute rim and hand, the luminescent green lining, and the subtle changes of blue in the watch face, you'll be won over quickly. Somehow, the large Oyster face holds it all together perfectly. And as if a Rolex wasn't impressive enough, the Z-Blue offers an entirely separate and attractive appeal from others in the same collection. It's unique, modern, and bright.
