116400GV Z-Blue, Glace Verte & Black Dial — Clone Cal.3131 Faraday Cage Guide
The Rolex Milgauss super clone collection — the 40mm Oystersteel anti-magnetic tool watch originally engineered for physicists at CERN, discontinued by Rolex in April 2023. Defined by its orange lightning-bolt seconds hand, soft-iron Faraday cage, and the optional green sapphire Glace Verte crystal, the Milgauss 116400 family has appreciated consistently on secondary markets since its discontinuation. Our super clones replicate the full reference range, including the Glace Verte Z-Blue variant that commands the highest collector demand.
Milgauss 116400 Super Clone References
- Milgauss 116400GV “Z-Blue” — 40mm Oystersteel case, clone Cal. 3131, 48-hour power reserve. Electric Z-Blue sunburst dial paired with the Glace Verte green-tinted sapphire crystal and orange lightning-bolt seconds hand. The most sought-after configuration in the 116400 family
- Milgauss 116400GV Black — Matte black dial with orange Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock beneath the Glace Verte green crystal, clone Cal. 3131. Orange lightning-bolt seconds hand
- Milgauss 116400 White & Black (non-GV) — Standard clear sapphire crystal configurations. Orange lightning-bolt seconds hand, anti-magnetic inner casing, clone Cal. 3131. Entry points into the Milgauss family without the green crystal premium
Collector Notes: Glace Verte Crystal & Faraday Cage
The primary inspection criterion on a Milgauss GV super clone is the green sapphire crystal. Lower-tier replicas reproduce this effect using green anti-reflective coating on clear glass or by tinting the crystal edges — both methods produce a colour that appears only at the rim rather than uniformly across the full dome. Our super clones use green-tinted sapphire crystal where the colour is consistent across the full surface area, evaluated under both direct and oblique lighting before sign-off.
The soft-iron inner casing that forms the Faraday cage is replicated in the correct position between the movement and the caseback. This dual-case structure contributes directly to the watch’s weight and case thickness — a Milgauss without the inner casing will measure noticeably thinner and lighter than the genuine specification. Both dimensions are verified against reference measurements before dispatch.
Clone Cal. 3131 — No-Date Architecture & Anti-Magnetic Construction
The Cal. 3131 is a dedicated no-date movement with a blue Parachrom hairspring and nickel-phosphorus escape wheel — the same paramagnetic components used in the genuine Milgauss and the Air-King 116900. Our clones replicate the no-date crown operation: two positions only, no ghost date click. The orange lightning-bolt seconds hand weight and sweep balance are verified for smooth rotation, and crystal tint consistency is documented in pre-shipment photography as part of our quality control process.
