The Watch: The Rolex Explorer 214270 carries forward the legacy of the original Explorer, a tool watch built to withstand extreme environments. This reference, introduced in 2010 and updated in 2016, features a 39mm stainless steel case, offering a modern size while maintaining the Explorer’s classic proportions.
The black dial emphasizes legibility, with white gold 3-6-9 Arabic numerals filled with Chromalight for long-lasting luminescence. The Mercedes hands and baton markers further enhance visibility in low light. Powered by the automaticRolex Caliber 3132, this movement is equipped with Paraflex shock absorbers and a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for increased durability and precision.
This example features the “lucky crown,” where the Rolex coronet on the crown is standing upright when wound shut—an uncommon detail that collectors seek.
Fitted on an Oyster bracelet with a secure Oysterlock clasp, the Explorer 214270 maintains 100m water resistance and is built to handle both everyday wear and the occasional adventure.
