About this watch

The Rolex Explorer 114270-0001 embodies luxury, reliability, and timeless elegance. With its rich history dating back to 1953, this iconic watch was designed for adventurers and explorers who required a durable and precise timepiece. The model we're focusing on today boasts a classic yet modern design with a 36mm case diameter, stainless steel casing, and black dial featuring Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9. One of its standout features is the sapphire crystal, known for its scratch resistance, ensuring that your watch stays looking pristine even after daily wear. With a water resistance of up to 100 meters, this watch can handle various environments while maintaining its sophisticated appearance. At the heart of this timepiece lies the Rolex Caliber 3130, a self-winding mechanical movement fully developed and manufactured by Rolex, ensuring unparalleled precision. This certified Swiss chronometer has undergone rigorous testing for accuracy, making it a reliable companion for any adventure. Additionally, the Parachrom hairspring technology offers greater resistance to shocks and temperature variations, allowing your watch to handle extreme conditions without skipping a beat. The 20mm lug width accommodates various wrist sizes, ensuring comfort and versatility throughout the day. Whether you're an adventurer at heart or someone who appreciates fine craftsmanship, this watch delivers on all fronts.
