ROLEX MILGAUSS REF 1019 ACIER WHITE MK2 SQUARE LUME from 1979
Brand: Rolex
Model: MILGAUSS
Movement : Auto cal 1580
Reference: 1019
Diameter : 40mm
Year: 1979
Serial : 61XXX
Case: Beautiful case still thick and with angles still very present. Bezel in perfect condition. Caseback stamped 1970 because Rolex used all the old 1019 casebacks still in stock because the model was not produced that much over the years. Last series of case. Original brass dust cover. No significant visible shocks. The watch has been lightly polished and worn in the past but keeps a beautiful case. Movement specific to this reference and cal 1580 model. The milgauss have always had a movement exclusive to this model in order to guarantee its proper functioning even in the presence of a very strong magnetic field that another non-professional watch could not withstand.
Dial: Beautiful and rare original white dial with luminescent tritium square hour markers (square lume). This dial is rarely found on the late 1019s, but it is likely that Rolex used the spare parts (dial, hands and case back) that it had already produced in 1970 to mount the rest of the 1019 production as the caseback almost always marked 70. Superb homogeneous patina of the original indexes and hands. Very nice general set. Dial still in good condition with no flaws. Almost nowhere to be found and highly sought after in this configuration. All the tritium in the indexes and hands react on the UV and then turn off (original).
Bracelet : Rolex steel armoured ref 78360 endlink 580 in good condition
Accessories: None
