The Watch
The Rolex Explorer came about after 20 years of development in extreme environments, starting back in the 1930s. The goal of the watch was to create the perfect mountaineers tool, keeping perfect time at -50C (-58F) with 70% less oxygen than at sea level. In 2010 the 214270 was fitted out with a black dial and 18ct white gold 3,6,9 indicies with an attractive blue Chromalight lume. Elegant 18ct white gold Mercedes hands with sweeping seconds hand, filled with Chromalight lume, move effortlessly around with 39mm dial. This is a Mark 2 dial that they introduced in 2016 with a longer second hand that fits the overall desgin better, also the 3,6,9 lume filled. The case is amde of corrosuion resitstant 904L Stainless Steel. 100m/300ft water resistance thanks to a double sealing system for the screw down crown.
