Rolex Explorer 214270

The Rolex Explorer is a very special watch by the manufacturer because it is only available in a single design on the watchmaking company’s website. So the Rolex Explorer is literally a one of its kind type of a watch. The design of this watch is quite simple and elegant but it has a lot of features included in this simple piece manufactured by Rolex.


The special thing about this watch is how detailed and well thought out the production process was for this watch. The watch bracelet is made using stainless steel; however, the steel used to make the bracelet is no regular steel. This is a special kind of 904L stainless steel which has been processed and designed to handle the most aggressive situations. It has a very high resistance to decay and this type of stainless steel is mostly used in aerospace/chemical industries because the type of work that is involved in such industries.

The dial on this watch is a jet black colour and has rectangular white hourly markings with silver outlines on each marking. The three watch hands are solver with luminescent detailing on each hand of this watch. Amongst the 12 hourly markings on this watch, the 3-hour, 6-hour and 9-hour markings are written in silver numbers while the 12-hour marking is an inverted triangle.

The movement on the Rolex Explorer is a calibre that is exclusively designed and manufactured by Rolex itself for their watches. This watch uses the 3132 calibres which are technically designed so that it is resistant to any sort of shocks and movements. The watch bezel is a very simple design and has no extra detailing or encrustations.



The watch crown is a screw down design with an extra added feature of even the crown having waterproof qualities. Rolex just goes to extreme lengths to make sure that its watches are outstanding in every aspect. The crystal used in this watch is made from sapphire which is quite exceptionally resistant to any kind of scratches. The water resistance of this watch is surprisingly good and stands at an amazing range of 330 feet.

This watch includes a power reserve feature as well, amongst all the other remarkable features that are fitted into this watch by Rolex. This power reserve offered by this watch goes up to 48 hours of reservation.

The inspiration for the design and material used in the Rolex Explorer was the world and nature itself. Ever since Rolex was introduced and started making one of the best watches this world has seen, the ideas used in their watches are what set them aside from the several other watchmaking companies producing watches around the world.

The method used by Rolex to make this watches was that the people responsible for the watch designs spent a considerable amount of time noticing and observing the world’s surroundings and conditions. Based on whatever details and information they were able to collect from that, they built a watch making sure it could adhere to or resist the world’s surroundings.
