Why this one

The case for this one.

  • Born from the 1953 Everest expedition, built for legibility in any condition
  • Black dial with the signature 3, 6, 9 Arabic numerals in Chromalight
  • Calibre 3230 movement with Chronergy escapement, 70 hour power reserve

The Explorer takes its name from the Rolex worn on the first successful summit of Everest in 1953, and the 40mm case brought the reference back to the proportions collectors always wanted. Oystersteel, black dial, nothing extra, it remains the watch most often recommended as a first serious Rolex.
