The first of its kind, it is capable of withstanding magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss and became known for being worn by scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva. Its resistance to magnetic interference stems from a shield inside the case made of ferromagnetic alloys, which protects the movement. This shield consists of two components, one screwed to the movement and the other to the case. In addition, its Caliber 3131 movement includes paramagnetic materials.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timepiecechronicle.com/features/2017/6/15/a-brief-history-of-the-rolex-milgauss|title=A Brief History of the Rolex Milgauss|website=Timepiece Chronicle|language=en-US|access-date=2019-08-05}}</ref>
