As its name would suggest, the Explorer was developed for tough, outdoor adventures, offering a highly resilient Oyster steel finish, a waterproof Triplock screw-down crown, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a secure folding Oysterlock safety clasp.
Hermetically sealed and highly resilient, the Explorer can brave almost any weather extreme.
The Rolex Explorer reference 214270 has seen some subtle changes during its production, notably the luminescent portions of the dial and the length of the handset.
The watch up for auction has an early dial, also known as a Mark 1 dial where the 3,6 & 9 Arabic markers are not lumed and the shorter seconds and minutes hands are present.
As with anything Rolex, it’s all in the details!!!
Unlike other Rolex sports watches, the reference 214270 boasts a modest 39mm Oyster case with wide lugs for a subtle yet impressive fit on the wrist.
With its 3132 COSC certified movement able to descend to depths of up to 100 meters, high altitudes, and extreme weather variations, this Rolex will live in your watch box for many years to come.
