The signal flare of the modern explorer

Explorer 1 is not just a simple sports watch, But represents Rolex’s philosophy of a “reliable watch anywhere.” Having proven its durability and reliability through the successful climb of Mount Everest in 1953, The Explorer has continued to inherit a design that emphasizes visibility, Durability, And practicality in extreme environments, Establishing itself as a model that symbolizes Rolex’s spirit of exploration. This tradition continued in 2010 with the launch of Ref. 214270, Which increased the case size from the original 36 mm to 39 mm. The increased size, Along with modern proportions, Enhanced the presence of the watch, And although there were concerns about the size change at the time of its launch, The market evaluation changed positively over time and it established a stable position. The introduction of the EXPLORER wording at the bottom of the dial and the Cal. 3132 movement brought about technical upgrades, While the Paraflex shock absorber and Parachrom hairspring further enhanced shock resistance and anti-magnetism. In particular, In 2016, Luminous paint was added to the 3-6-9 indexes, The length of the hands was adjusted, And the readability and proportions of the watch were further improved. This model was produced for 11 years from 2010 to 2021 and was divided into two main versions, And it still maintains high popularity even after production ended. With its reliable durability and simple design even in extreme environments, The Explorer 1 is evaluated as the “best tool watch” in the Rolex collection and remains a model that is constantly loved by watch enthusiasts.
