Central to the Rolex Explorer, an officially certified chronometer self-winding movement. This movement has undergone rigorous testing by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), ensuring its precision and reliability under varied conditions.

Equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, it resists shocks and temperature variations, maintaining outstanding accuracy and stability.

The case’s size offers a classic and versatile appearance, fitting comfortably on a variety of wrist sizes while maintaining a sleek profile suitable for both formal and casual occasions.

The Rolex logo proudly emblazoned on the crown is a testament to the watch’s authenticity and the brand’s illustrious heritage.
Bezel and Crystal
The watch features a smooth stainless steel bezel, which adds a touch of understated elegance and enhances its streamlined look. The simplicity of the bezel design underscores the watch’s versatility, allowing it to seamlessly transition from rugged outdoor settings to sophisticated urban environments. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal provides a clear and durable protective layer over the dial, ensuring that the watch remains unblemished and legible even after years of wear. This high-quality crystal is engineered to resist scratches and impacts, maintaining its pristine condition throughout the watch’s life.
Dial and Hands
The black dial of the Rolex Explorer I 114270 is a study in clarity and precision. The raised Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, paired with white luminous inlay button hour markers, offer excellent legibility. This design ensures that the time can be read easily, even in low-light conditions. The Mercedes hands, filled with luminescent material, enhance the watch’s readability and contribute to its distinctive look. The absence of a date window keeps the dial clean and uncluttered, staying true to the Explorer’s original design ethos focused on functionality and simplicity.
Bracelet and Clasp
The stainless steel Oyster bracelet is renowned for its robustness and comfort. It features a flip-lock clasp, providing a secure and adjustable fit that remains comfortable throughout extended wear. The bracelet is designed to fit wrists up to 7 3/4 inches, accommodating a wide range of wrist sizes.
