Apart from the Rolex long lasting tradition in watch manufacturing, the watches produced by this brand speak for themselves in terms of elegance, quality, functionality, and why not, expensiveness. The early start of the Rolex brand was back in 1905, when Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis started a successful partnership that would soon enough turn into an empire of watch manufacturing. A name that’s hard to ignore in this over-competitive industry, Rolex, has way left behind its most dreadful competitors, being considered nowadays the most successful brands in watch manufacturing, and also being ranked by the Business Magazine on the 71 position out of 100 most powerful trademarks in 2007.
The first model Rolex Milgauss was released in 1954 and was inspired by the legendary watch Rolex Submariner, its design maintaining some of the design characteristics of the latter. The design proposed by the new Rolex Milagauss 116400GV was meant to look powerful, sturdy and masculine and so it was chosen the 40 mm in diameter case made of stainless steel. The case is accompanied by a bezel made of polished stainless steel and has its top covered in sapphire crystal. This time the choice of material for the case back was not sapphire crystal, but stainless steel inscribed with the Rolex logo. The bezel of the Rolex Milagauss 116400 GV Watch performs no action and is fixed to its case.
The black dial of the Rolex Milagauss 116400 GV Watch uses contrasting detailing with white hour markers and golden hour markers only for 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions. The hand used for indicating of the second comes on an orange color, providing a sportier and modern appearance. Also, the dial is inscribed with Arabic numerals from 5 to 5 minutes, on orange as well.
The movement offers only the traditional functions of a watch, having no equipment to indicate the date or even the day of the week.

The movement of the Rolex Milagauss 116400 GV Watch offers 100 meters water resistance, making of this watch the perfect instrument for amateur divers or simply wearable when performing water activities.
