Reference 1019 is the second type of the Milgauss line after the original two versions, references 6541 and 6543. Constructed to resist high magnetic fields and aimed at a clientele working in laboratories and including engineers, it was never commercially successful and production numbers were consequently rather small. Logically, original and well preserved examples are today very sought after. The example here is in most probably unpolished condition, retaining excellent bevels to the lugs and sharp angles to the smooth polished bezel. Being from 1980 its dial has the luminous dots placed outside the applied hour markers and the hands are in matt finished aluminium. Thanks to its timeless design, large diameter and excellent wearability, crisp examples of the reference 1019 Milgauss are great value propositions to the connoisseur of vintage wristwatches.
