Embrace the spirit of adventure with the Rolex Explorer 40, reference 224270. Born from a legacy of conquering the world's highest peaks, the Explorer is the definitive tool watch, reimagined for the modern era. This 40mm model offers a commanding yet perfectly balanced presence on the wrist, catering to contemporary tastes while retaining the iconic, clean design DNA that has made it a legend since 1953.
The striking black lacquered dial is a paragon of legibility, featuring the signature applied 3, 6, and 9 numerals and Mercedes hands, all crafted from 18ct white gold to prevent tarnishing. Filled with Rolex's proprietary Chromalight lume, the display glows with a long-lasting, intense blue light, ensuring clarity in the darkest conditions.
At its heart beats the state-of-the-art Calibre 3230, a self-winding movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. As a Superlative Chronometer, it guarantees exceptional precision and reliability, boasting a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The robust Oystersteel case and Oyster bracelet are engineered for durability, while the Oysterlock clasp and Easylink comfort extension link provide security and on-the-fly adjustability. A true "go anywhere, do anything" timepiece, the Explorer 40 is the ultimate companion for life's greatest expeditions, from the boardroom to the summit.
