Rolex 1080

Probable

Worth being precise about, because the Milgauss's antimagnetic claim is routinely attributed to the movement. It is not: the resistance comes from a soft-iron Faraday cage around the movement, which is a CASE feature. A Milgauss missing its inner shield has lost the property the model exists for, and that is a case finding rather than a movement one.
