It is recognized for its clean aesthetic and technical purpose, appealing to those who value both form and function in a tool watch. This model features a 40mm Oyster case crafted from 904L stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance. It houses the Rolex Caliber 3131, an automatic movement equipped with a Parachrom hairspring and a paramagnetic escape wheel, contributing to its anti-magnetic properties. The watch is fitted with a smooth stainless steel bezel and a sapphire crystal, ensuring durability and legibility. It offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours and is water-resistant to 100 meters. The 116400 is a significant reference for collectors interested in Rolex's technical innovations and its history of producing specialized watches. It was available with a black dial and a distinctive orange lightning bolt seconds hand, a design cue from earlier Milgauss models. This reference represents a period of renewed focus on the Milgauss line, preceding the introduction of the green sapphire crystal variant, and is appreciated for its straightforward execution and engineering.
