Anti Magnetic watch?
Suggestions please for a good anti magnetic watch which is genuinely anti magnetic for daily wear. Currently my daily wear is a Rolex 124060. Don't find the Milgauss or Omega appealing. So looking for any other swiss brand.
Cheers! |

Is IWC 357002 anti magnetic? It is not mentioned in the specs but AD says it is.

Not sure what you find unappealing about Omega, so it is hard to recommend anything to you.

Almost every good quality watch made today is anti-magnetic as far as the hair spring is concerned.
Not sure why that would be a major consideration, however, the new Air King uses the same movement as the Milgauss.

Haha, AD says something that the manufacturer does not! I call bu115hit. He can get away with it as all watches have anti-magnetic properties. Most very little, others more. There's actually quite a large range. But with very few above 500 gauss. Even the Rolex Milgauss is only around 1000, which is not done at the calibre level but by a Faraday cage that it suits in. |

I thought this would be as simple as finding a good antimagnetic watch and be done with it. But now your replies make me think if I should look for how much gauss I need? Or am I being too finicky and don't need it after all? |

I can't recommend any mechanical watch for your application.
Some speaker neo magnets can touch 15000 gauss?

Looks like you're already there with watch and work. If the watch continues to keep good time then you're OK. Mind you I would think you keep your watch away from the danger zones already. But really, nothing else come close to Master Chronometer certification. So Omega and Tudor are your go to. At a level below I'd be looking for a silicon hairspring. |

I used to routinely expose my watches beyond 9500 gauss. Repeated exposure will add up in a watch. At that kind of field strength a paper clip becomes dangerous.
I had to be careful not to get to close. At 10 feet away you could feel the force pulling on anything magnetic. It will snatch Bobby pins out of hair. Rolex with there version of Anti-magnetic properties took weeks to build up enough exposure to magnetize the plates and gears to slow it down. No not run fast - the hair spring was not affected. Omega was the only watch I could find that would hold up day to day. I am still around magnetic fields routinely and find that certain parts can still be magnetized sometimes like pins in bracelets, collars and buckles. But at around 1000 - 1500 gauss, Any watch with a Si hair spring will do fine. Using a Fluke gauss meter you will be surprised at just how close you have be to a magnetic source in order for it to be a problem with a modern movement equipped with a Si spring before it becomes a problem.

Worth also noting that the Master Chronometer certification used by Omega and also Tudor now is not "to" 15000 but to "at least"15000.

Anti Magnetic watch?
Don't seem to recall any anti-magnetic features from this maker that aren't the same offered by a standard ETA calibre. From what I've seen it offers less than the watch the op has as being replaced! Am I missing some info here. Not a brand I know a lot about? Edit: calibre is rated to 25,000 A/m thanks to the inclusion of a soft iron casing ring and nothing to do with the calibre. That converts in gauss to only: Result 25000 A/m = 314.15926536 gauss |

I work around klystrons and magnetrons at work and have only ever had my early 2000s 300m Seamaster 2254 affected by magnetism. My modern Rolex watches, modern Omegas, and VC have all been just fine.

I would agree that almost any modern watch will do the trick if not being silly. However, given today's range of options I think anti-magnetic for the op is something more. 100m is the standard for a divers watch but few people would settle for less than 200m. It is not about the standard really and never had been. So I'd say again that 300 gauss is in fact very little given what's available. |

Haha, Studer is not for sale, its been with me for 20years. It is for the demo of the spool tapes which I distribute. I think this is a better picture choice.

You should take a look at the Sinn line. They make some nice antimagnetic watches & this line is rated to at least 1000 Gauss:
