Brief History of Anti-Magnetic Watches + Best Models on the Market Today

[@getoffmylawn8986]

I sure think the Ball might be my next piece. Great job, Armand, keep them coming! I NEVER fail to learn from you.

[@brownbodyewb]

Wonderful. As a radiologist, I could use one of these when working around the MRI. Thanks

[@ES-tr5no]

Then any modern Omega is the only one that can withstand that kind of force.

[@simoncrawford350]

Excellently done & very informative thanks! Love the Sinn but the Ball at the end “very cool” I reckon 👍 Cheers!

[@richardelyii3672]

An excellent treatment of a technical issue of watches that usually gets overlooked. We all know about water resistance, but this helped a great deal. I suggest you do the same thing for shock resistance. This is another under discussed technical area. I just ordered a Sinn EZM 5 SDR because of the tremendous group of properties possessed by this watch. I have found German watches often have the best combination of properties at an affordable price. Great video, more like this please.

[@zHumanfactor]

Ball is such a great value... a very underrated and underappreciated watch.

[@iosepho]

Un grand merci pour la vidéo ! Par contre, vous pensez qu'on pourrait incluire aussi le Jaeger le-Coultre Geophysic?

[@petershallis2294]

Great video, a very interesting subject choice. In terms of favourites I'd have to pick the Railmaster, somewhat under the radar when first released I think it will become more appreciated in the future.. it has such a clean and classic aesthetic.

[@JonnyBoss83]

I've never seen a video of yours before, but given how comprehensively you've covered this topic, I'm sure I will be watching more. Fantastic content. I thank you Sir.

[@alucard13madness]

Merci Armand pour cette sublime vidéo que je trouve trés instructive

[@ArmandTheWatchGuy]

+Alucard madness: Merci énormément!

[@MrAdjaize]

If i owned that Ball Magneto S, i think i would spend more time looking at the photographic style shutter on the case back than the dial.

[@henrysiegertsz8204]

What can I say, but mesmerizingly brilliant video!

[@logwind]

Great content. It's clear considerable research goes into these lessons. Thanks.

[@jackprick9797]

I did not know about the Ball engineer watch. Previously, I had not been impressed by Ball and would not have given them a second thought, but I gotta say, this watch looks pretty nice. Gonna try to find a used one now. Thanks for this video! Subscribed.

[@joaquintaino2739]

Ball Watch Eng ii Magneto S, Awesome. Already in the market for the Ball Watch Eng ii Volcano which has very impressive specs.

[@TheRealReaper93]

Loved that "Aquarium" intro 😀

[@thomasanonymous1103]

Thank you for a very interesting and enlightening video, Armand! In the future, it would be nice with a video on the history of anti-shock wrist watches. Once again, thank you and God bless you, best Armand!

[@davidgansert7542]

Amazing video as usual! 👍👍👍

[@Geniusclicks]

Wow great & thorough review. Exposed me to watches i never knew existed.

[@shipmate3577]

Ball watch is super cool

[@johnnywatches247]

Great video! I do love the BALL Magneto S hands down!

[@khronokraze]

very informative as usual. thanks for this video! all very good choices, but the last choice, Ball, was perhaps maybe the coolest one with the ability to open/close the aperture in the case back. But, if I'm not mistaken, I think nearly all Ball watches are designed with a very high above average degree of anti-magnetism.

[@danieleromanello1465]

Nice video, you forgot to mention the Zenith Gauss and the Eberhard Sientigraf!

[@terrywong7879]

interesting history with intriguing information, thank you

[@fpoynton1604]

Fantastic review of a broad range of great styles and choice. For the money the Tissot and the Ball are amazing bang for buck all purpose beauties with awesome history.

[@bentremy]

Just brilliant as always.

[@jimbegin6554]

Great as always Armand. The Railmaster will have a brushed blue dial added to the lineup soon. As mentioned, the Milgauss could do with a refresh, not sure why it doesn’t appeal to me, colours, price obviously, compared to others reviewed.

[@Pazaroni436]

Powermatic 80 is without regulator as ETA 2824 , which makes it more precise, also it’s made out of ARCAP, alloy, nickel , zinc- very anti magnetic materials. Mido ocean star captain, titanium case and bracelet is your best choice

[@marc6652]

Antimagnetic's importance is very often largely underestimated, to the extent that no one was able to tell me the resistance of the Rolex Explorer, even in a Rolex specialist shop. I was also interested by a Grand Seiko, but the antimagnetic performance is only 60 Gauss. Too bad. So I'll probably bye an Omega seamaster 300.

[@MiataBRG]

Brilliant, informative and interesting as ever. 👍👍

[@neilpiper9889]

I have a Sea-gull St5 antarctic watch with a soft metal removable anti magnetic shield that sits over the movement.

[@johnschnorr7768]

What was the reason for the 1-6 on the bezel on the Rolex 6543 & 6541 vs a 1-12 ?

[@stewartjmurray]

Top quality pronunciation there! Also as an owner of a Milgauss GV it was as must watch for me! (Pun slightly intended)

[@qwertyman9560]

Could add the IWC pilot (newest mark series) and the Tudor Black bays which I believe has a Silicon hairspring

[@Hablaz007]

Hey there! I am a fan of your channel. I’m in the market for an antimagnetic dive watch myself at the moment. I believe the Sinn U1 is only antimagnetic to 4800 A/m (~60 Gauss) based on my research. Unfortunately, not to 1000 gauss. That is the reason I haven’t already picked up a U1. I am still looking for the perfect diver for me. Please feel free to correct me. (I’d only be happy)

[@davidpayne6307]

What about the Wittnauer All Proof From the1930s?

[@kierenmoore3236]

Great video, as always. These days, IWC have dropped the ball, generally, imho ... Tissot is a great, value brand, with some real pedigree. Cheers Armand, Be welll!

[@danielmeier8321]

Does anybody know where to buy such vintage style posters?

[@dgamal095]

Super 👏👏👏👏

[@neoLover23]

The planet ocean has surprisingly large resistance to magnetism, something like 1.5 Tesla

[@doug4307]

Not complete, the Jaeger Lecoultre Master Control ref 140.8.89 is missing

[@ilovegongsmygongsongs2094]

Anyone else see a Kid's face on that Tissot leather band on the right corner at 20:55 ?

[@RD-dm9vc]

I think Rolex should put a bezel on the Milgauss. What do you think?

[@DJogdog]

It has a bezel, it just doesn't rotate.

[@ArmandTheWatchGuy]

+Art Ponce: I must admit that, if Rolex released a Milagauss with the modern 40mm case, brushed silver-white dial, 1019 hands and a rotating bezel, I would buy one immediately.

[@tomroman7455]

Interesting. I'd like to see a mock-up of what that may look like. I have a Milgauss, 'pumpkin' as ATWG said, and I think it fits nicely between dress & sport. At 40mm I think a bezel may make it appear too big for my liking plus it would tip it more towards the sporty side. I really like it as is, but I can see the benefit to a bezel.

[@RD-dm9vc]

Lofty I ment a ceramic unidirectional one my bad.

[@Afras1]

same here !

[@q3813]

Just got myself a GS SBGX093 anti-magnetic Quartz. 😅😅😅

[@ihabkahnung]

Perfect idea to show posters. I am sad to inform you that neither my wardrobe nor my financial means allow my participation on the next trip of the Flying Scotsman. What i really like is the inspiration the 50ies took from 1 the Jugendstil with all its variations but 2 also from the brutalist work of the fascists and stalinists :) Have fun times.

[@gbtriumph3216]

Omega is at the every end of the argument today. The 15,000 gauss is 10 times what the Rolex is tested at! Who cares about finish, power reserve, or anything else when the topic is magnetism? The Longines Record is also Si14 technology. It is quite curious that neither Tissot nor Longines will advertise the amagnetic limits or testing. Both are Swatch Group.

[@Norman-mn7gp]

Germany watch Archimede is excelent ....
