The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer I comes from a time when there weren't exactly a lot of explorers. Various research teams were equipped with Rolex Oyster Perpetual Chronometers. Regarding watches, it is very interesting to know that findings from the Himalayan expeditions were incorporated into the development of Rolex's Oyster chronometers.
The new Rolex Explorer I reference 214270 has a case made of robust stainless steel and a diameter of 39 mm. The watch came onto the market in 2010. One of the most noticeable changes compared to the previous models is the stainless steel casing, which has become 3 mm larger. A polished stainless steel bezel is installed, which looks very simple.
The case of the Rolex Explorer I reference 214270 is equipped with a manufacture movement caliber 3132. This watch is an official COSC-certified Swiss chronometer. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer I is classic and timeless in design.
The dial is black, the white numbers and indices can be read even in poor visibility or in the dark. Even at night, the self-luminous Chromalight numbers, hands and indices show the time clearly. The new Oyster Perpetual Explorer I in stainless steel owes not least to its simple, clear lines that make it the icon it is today. Thanks to two seals and the Twinlock system, Rolex guarantees water resistance up to 10 ATM. This system is incorporated into all Oyster wristwatches.
It is also worth knowing that Rolex is the only manufacturer to use hard steel of type 904 L for the cases, which is otherwise only used for medical implants and in the chemical industry. The metal is extremely resistant. Rolex cases are subjected to high pressure to check water resistance. The high standards of workmanship are also evident in the bracelets, which in tests are closed and opened 10,000 times.
