„I bought a Breitling at Zeitauktion and sold a Breitling to Zeitauktion. Very fair prices - both in the purchase and in the sale - and the entire process was simply super - it couldn't have been better. Many thanks to the team at Zeitauktion!!!"

“In Short: Fair purchase, fair price, very good contact, bought a VC Royal Eagle and traded in my watch. Everything went smoothly. Excellent watch received. Looks like new. I can therefore highly recommend the dealer and would happily buy there again.

„The best and most honest platform on the internet if you want to sell your luxury watch. At first, I had slight doubts about whether it would work, as my watch was worth a few thousand euros. But 2 days after my watch was sent, the money was already in my account. Perfect!!"

Watches are exposed to special external circumstances in many situations. Diver's and pilot's watches in particular have achieved great popularity, but with the Rolex Milgauss, the Swiss watch manufacturer is tackling yet another problem. This extraordinary watch has been equipped with a protective mechanism to minimise the influence of magnetism.
While most luxury watches today are bought or selected primarily on the basis of their appearance, in earlier decades functionality took centre stage. Water resistance and robustness against external conditions have helped many watches to achieve a high level of recognition. In this context, Rolex has countered another negative influence - magnetism. Even small magnetic fields of less than 100 gauss can significantly impair the functionality of watches.
Rolex presented the Milgauss to the general public for the first time in 1954. The target group for this special watch included researchers and people who were frequently exposed to magnetic fields. The name of the watch is made up of the French word for "thousand" (mille) and the unit of measurement Gauss, the unit of magnetic flux density. The Rolex Milgauss was designed for a strength of 1,000 Gauss and could therefore easily withstand even strong magnetic fields.
In addition to its high resistance to magnetic influences, the Rolex Milgauss was water-resistant to 100 metres (10 bar) thanks to a screw-down case back. The 40 mm Oyster case and the three-row Oyster bracelet are typical features of a Rolex Milgauss, which was also highly recognisable thanks to its lightning-shaped second hand and green sapphire crystal.
As demand was limited in the following years, production of this watch was discontinued in 1988. However, this had an effect that is often the case with discontinued collections - demand and the value of the watches skyrocketed. In 2007, Rolex therefore decided to launch a new Milgauss in the style of the original 1954 model. To this day, the Rolex Milgauss has retained the image of an explorer's watch.
Rolex and the brand are already synonymous with high-quality workmanship. With this in mind, lovers of the Milgauss can be sure that this is also the case with this series. Thanks to the new generations after 2007, models can be found at an acceptable price, starting at around €7,500. Beautiful variants and models range in price from 8,500 to 13,500 euros.
Watch enthusiasts and collectors naturally have their eye on the vintage editions of the Rolex Milgauss, which were produced before 1988. Vintage models with a white and black dial cost more than €25,000 and the upper limit seems to be completely open. First-generation Rolex Milgauss with the reference number 6541 cost well over 100,000 euros and are extremely rare to find.
The Rolex Milgauss can be purchased second-hand and at favourable prices at zeitauktion.com. The authenticity of the watches, which are offered at an attractive price, has been verified by certified dealers.
