antimagnetic

Impervious to magnets

Antimagnetic describes materials or devices designed to resist the effects of magnetic fields.

Most often applied to watches, where antimagnetic construction prevents magnetism from disrupting the movement's accuracy: an antimagnetic watch.

The term also appears in scientific and industrial contexts where magnetic interference must be minimized.
