The Rolex Explorer reference 114270 was launched in 2001. The simple dial, the luminous indexes, the Arabic numerals and the "Mercedes" hands lend a particularly elegant appearance to this watch; in addition to this, the contrast of the luminous material with the black dial make the watch very easy to read. Inspired by the explorations of Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay, the case is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a water-proof, screwed-down crown, protecting the movement from large differences in altitudes or extreme weather conditions and making this timepiece a perfect companion for any kind of travel.
