This Rolex Milgauss 116400GV rubber strap replica in 40mm carries the green sapphire crystal and automatic movement that made the Milgauss a favorite among collectors who value technical function over decorative complications. The 116400GV reference was the flagship of the Milgauss family until Rolex discontinued the entire line in 2023. At 40mm in steel, it occupies a size and material class shared with the Explorer and Air-King, but the smooth bezel, lightning bolt seconds hand, and green crystal set it apart from everything else in the range. Our version pairs the black dial with a black rubber strap instead of the steel Oyster bracelet the genuine was delivered on.

Technical Overview

• Reference: 116400GV (Milgauss, black dial, green sapphire)
• Case: 40mm stainless steel Oyster case (the genuine is Oystersteel)
• Dial: black with white luminous markers (yellow-tinted at 3, 6 and 9), orange MILGAUSS print and orange minute-track numerals
• Crystal: green sapphire (Glace Verte)
• Seconds hand: orange lightning bolt
• Bezel: smooth polished steel
• Strap: black rubber (the genuine came on a three-link Oyster bracelet)
• Movement: clone Cal. 3131 automatic, time-only
• Power reserve: 48 hours (clone Cal. 3131)
• Water resistance: 100 m
• Magnetic shielding: rated to 1,000 gauss on the genuine only; not claimed for the clone

The Milgauss is one of the few Rolex sport watches with no date function. This keeps the dial clean and eliminates the Cyclops lens from the crystal, preserving the flat profile that defines the model.

Rolex Milgauss 116400GV Rubber Strap Clone Movement

On the genuine, the paramagnetic hairspring and internal ferromagnetic shield give the Milgauss its 1,000-gauss resistance rating. That level of magnetic protection was developed for CERN researchers in the 1950s and remains relevant for anyone who works near strong magnets, speakers, or electrical equipment. This replica runs a clone Cal. 3131 that copies the time-only layout but not the shield, so keep it away from strong magnets like any automatic watch. The time-only caliber requires no date quickset mechanism, which reduces the number of moving parts and simplifies servicing. For a version without the green crystal treatment, compare against the 116400 with clear sapphire from the same Milgauss collection.

What Sets It Apart

The green sapphire crystal is the headline difference; the GV black dial also differs from the clear-crystal 116400 black, with orange 3/6/9 batons and orange minute numerals instead of orange hour plots. On the genuine it is not a coating or a film: the green color is part of the crystal itself, which means it will never wear away or peel. At shallow angles the green tint becomes highly visible, but viewed straight on the dial color dominates. That shifting effect makes the GV references more dynamic on the wrist than photographs suggest. The black rubber strap makes this the lightest and most casual Milgauss in the collection, and it keeps the all-dark look from case to buckle. The smooth bezel avoids any sports-instrument aesthetic, and the absence of a date window keeps the symmetry intact. In a catalog full of dive timers and GMT bezels, the 40mm Milgauss offers something quieter and more cerebral. This replica Milgauss 116400GV 40mm puts that scientific heritage on the wrist without a single unnecessary complication.
