Time flies when you’re having fun and for Rolex 60 years may feel like it has passed in a blink of an eye.
The Swiss watch brand has redesigned its entire range of Cosmograph Daytona timepieces to honour the collection’s 60th anniversary on 27 March, with ‘even greater visual harmony and a more modern demeanour.’

Hide AdWhile the Cosmograph Daytona is getting a makeover, the release comes as rumours circulate that one of Rolex’s longest serving ranges ‘The Milgauss’ which was created in 1956 has been discontinued.
Reports come after Milgauss can no longer be found on the Rolex site and types of the watch have slowly been discontinued since last year.
Designed nearly 70 years ago to ‘meet the demands of the scientific community…withstanding magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss,’ it was then labelled as the perfect magnetic shield.
This could be a key reason why many A-List stars choose to wear Rolex’s Milgauss - to potentially protect themselves from all of the attention they attract as a result of their celebrity?
