Rolex Explorer I 214270

The Explorer I from Rolex doesn’t need an introduction, I’m sure most of you you know what it is. Just in case you aren’t familiar with them, the Explorer I was one of the original tool watches from Rolex, and it’s lineage has continued unabated since 1953.

This recently discontinued version is the reference 214270. It features a 39mm Oyster case, black 3-6-9 dial with Chromalight lume, and is mounted to the outstanding oyster bracelet also in steel. It’s powered by the 3132 self winding movement, is waterproof to 100 metres, and is right up there with the best choices around for a one-watch, do it all piece in our opinion.

This piece was first delivered in mid-2020 and presents in TZ 'Good' condition. Overall condition is very good, with some scratches and swirls present on the sides of the case, and a few minor marks on the brushed lugs. The bezel has a small scrape between 11 and 12 on the outer edge, a small nick between 5 and 6, and some light dings around its outer edge. The case back has some light marks present, and rear of the lugs show some strap change marks. Please see images for full condition details.

Bracelet has all links included, and shows minor desk diving marks throughout.

Remains under manufacturers warranty. All functions operating as they should.
