The Rolex Explorer reference 114270 holds a significant place in the brand’s history. Introduced in 2001 as an update to the previous Explorer model (reference 14270), this timepiece carries the legacy of Rolex’s commitment to exploration and robust design.
The Rolex Explorer 114270 retained the iconic 36mm case size, offering a classic and versatile look. It featured an updated movement, the Caliber 3130, which offered improved accuracy and reliability. The watch was crafted to withstand challenging environments, staying true to the Explorer’s heritage of being a reliable companion for adventurers and explorers.
One notable change was the introduction of the “Mercedes” hands, which are now a signature feature of the Explorer line. The luminescent materials on the hands and markers were also improved, enhancing legibility in low-light conditions.
In 2010, the reference 114270 was replaced by the reference 214270, which brought a larger 39mm case and other subtle design changes. The 114270 continues to be sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for its historical significance and enduring design as a tool watch that embodies the spirit of exploration.
