Rolex Explorer I 39mm MK1

Meet the Rolex Explorer reference 214270, the modern iteration of the legendary watch born from Himalayan expeditions and designed for pure adventure. This model, in its now-discontinued 39mm Oystersteel case, perfectly balances rugged capability with understated elegance. Its lineage traces back to the first successful ascent of Mount Everest, and that spirit of exploration is built into its DNA. The distinctive black dial is a masterclass in legibility, featuring the iconic oversized 3, 6, and 9 numerals, alongside applied baton markers and Mercedes hands. It is an early version of the 214270 that features the non-luminous polished white gold 3, 6, and 9 numerals. The smooth, polished bezel adds a touch of refinement, making it surprisingly versatile – it can easily dress up or down. Powering this Explorer is the robust Rolex Calibre 3132, an automatic Superlative Chronometer movement known for its precision, reliability, and its Paraflex shock absorbers, enhancing its durability for any expedition life throws at it. Fitted with the comfortable and secure Oystersteel Oyster bracelet, the Explorer 214270 is the epitome of a 'go anywhere, do anything' watch. It's a testament to enduring design and Rolex's commitment to creating timepieces that can withstand the toughest challenges.
