Serial # 201**** circa 1969 - 1970
In production from 1966 to 1990, the reference 1019 was only available in stainless steel. Its name is derived from the Greek "Mil" for thousand and "Gauss" (named in honor of the German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss), the unit to measure magnetism. A normal watch movement can withstand 70-90 Gauss whereas the Milgauss keeps its incredible precision in a magnetic field up to 1000 Gauss.
