Found it while doing this: wondering what the heck a Milgauss is.

[rambler]

"What is a Milgauss?
The Milgauss was designed to withstand high magnetic fields. Mechanical watches can become magnetized, affecting their operation (see "my watch is running fast"). It was not popular and few were made. It's rarity makes it quite collectible, although there is controversy over the actual value of these watches."

from the Timezone FAQ.
