Pre-Owned Rolex 39mm Explorer, Black Dial, Stainless Steel Bracelet, Ref. 214270

Rolex dedicated the Oyster Perpetual Explorer to polar explorers and all those pushing the boundaries of exploration. This Rolex Explorer is a comfortable sized 39mm and is powered by the Rolex caliber 3132, which includes Paraflex shock-absorbers. Like all Rolex timepieces, the Explorer’s dial is designed and manufactured in house, largely by hand to ensure tight quality control. The black dial has the Chromalight luminescent coating to provide bright and long-lasting readability in low light environments, while the numerals 3, 6, and 9 are made in solid white gold.  These were changed to lume filled about half way through the production of this reference. The Oyster Perpetual Explorer smooth bezel in Oystersteel is robust yet elegant.  With its 100m of water resistance, the Explorer continues to serve as a robust tool for modern adventurers.

Description

Rolex is recognized throughout the world not only as a brand associated with luxury, but as a watch that is both luxurious and precise.  For Rolex, this hard-won and well-deserved recognition was never in doubt.  The founder, Hans Wilsdorf named the company Rolex to be pronounceable in any language, as he anticipated the acclaim his company would receive due to relentless pursuit of precision and accuracy in a wristwatch.  Soon after its founding, Rolex produced the first wristwatch to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, which was followed rapidly by receipt of a certificate of precision from the Kew Observatory in Great Britain.  From those roots Rolex built a legacy of innovation.  The Oyster watch was the first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch in 1926, followed by the first self-winding Perpetual rotor.  Building once again on innovation, the Datejust became the first self-winding wrist chronometer to include a date in a window on the dial.  Adventurous women and men who strive to make history have chosen Rolex for their expedition, which both perpetuates the brand’s claim to precision and dependability as well as attests to its veracity.  Hans Wilsdorf may have anticipated the acclaim Rolex would someday achieve, but even he might have been impressed with its success.
