Even though many look to Rolex as a steadfast, unchanging bastion of the watch world, there are some definite outliers in the field. The Rolex Milgauss watch replica in recent guise has always been the Rolex for a watch collector who doesn’t really consider himself a "Rolex guy". It's design is definitely a touch more outlandish than its counterparts, the replica Rolex Milgauss watch returned to the Rolex collection in 2007, followed by this especially funky Z-Blue dial variant in 2014. The latter is what we're going to be focusing on today, as it is hands-down one of the most interesting and peculiar Rolex models currently on offer, Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss Z-Blue Dial watch replica 116400 GV.
Like every modern Rolex Milgauss, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss Z Blue men's watch replica boasts a clean visage with legibility as the top priority. As a consequence of the Milgauss’ anti-magnetic architecture, a date window is absent by necessity.
And the anti-magnetic mission was the touchstone for the Milgauss design team. Since 1956, the Milgauss has been geared toward users in high-tech, high-energy, and highly magnetized environments where traditional mechanical watches tend to fail. The use of a full soft iron case-in-case ("Faraday Cage") helps to bend magnetic field lines around the sensitive hairspring of the movement.
All told, the Milgauss is another one of those great Rolex models that you can just wear day in and day out. Though its case is by no means an ultra-thin, it is sleek enough to tuck under a shirt cuff. It’s also fun and funky enough to throw on with jeans and a t-shirt, or other attire to wear it during anything from a night out at the bar.
The Dial
The crisp and cool electric blue of its dial is distinct from any other Rolex offering - a color chosen thoughtfully, with the intent of letting its orange minute track, seconds hand, and dial text stand out brightly without seeming out of place. And the dial is dynamic. As light moves across its surface, the shifting reflection creates patterns of white-hot highlights, iridescent blues, and nearly-black navy tones. The movements of highlights and shadows is constant when the wrist is in motion.Like every modern Rolex Milgauss, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss Z Blue men's watch replica boasts a clean visage with legibility as the top priority.

The Case
The winning formula starts with the just-right proportions of the 40mm case.The dial disc appears to be and is, larger than that of a 42mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore; the absence of a rotating bezel strengthens the visual punch of the Z Blue dial. Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss men's watch replica wears with the robust wrist presence of a modern watch, but the size never becomes overbearing when shirt cuffs, formal wear, or smaller wrists enter the equation. With a high dial-to-bezel ratio, the Milgauss reads as a larger timepiece. A Twinlock screw-down crown assures water resistance of 100m.
The Movement
The Milgauss is currently fitted with its own movement that differs from Subs and other models – the Caliber 3131 with a 48h power reserve, Parachrom hairspring, nickel phosphorus lever/escape wheel, and Superlative Chronometer standard +2/-2 seconds per day accuracy. Fun fact, this caliber also appears in the current Rolex Air King as well.The Bracelet
The Rolex Milgauss men's watch replica is fitted with a conventional 904L steel Oyster bracelet that has an Easylink 5mm comfort extension in its clasp. While its 40mm case is polished throughout, the bracelet features brushed links with polished center links.
