the original milgauss was very similar to the appearance of the rolex submariner, with an oversized case and bezel, with the twinlock crown, and a riveted oyster bracelet. although the milgauss went through only two different models (6541, 1019) the milgauss went through numerous configuration changes before being discontinued in 1988. in the 1960s, rolex launched the milgauss ref. 1019. however, this particular model looks so different from its predecessors that at first glance the milgauss link (aside from the red milgauss text) is not immediately clear.
