The new hairspring Rolex is using is supposed to be unaffected by magnetic fields.

I thought that the Milgauss was "special" in that it was the only Rolex to have antimagnetic properties. So in that respect is the Milgauss now like every other Rolex? Or does it have other features that give it more protection.

It has a faraday cage, which I guess would make it even more resistant to magnetic fields? I think it is mostly marketing though, like the DSSD.

Deja Vous

We just had this exact thread a few days ago..

In a nutshell, the Parachrom hairspring is marketing... The previous Nivarox hairspring was also non-magnetic. A hairspring alone does not render the entire watch non-magnetic.

Yes, the Milgauss is built differently than other watches using different non-ferrous metals.
