Rolex Explorer

The Rolex Explorer 224270 brings clean lines and real heritage to a modern 40mm case. This 2023 example features a black dial, smooth bezel, and comes as a full set with box, papers, and warranty card. It’s in excellent condition with only light signs of use.

The case is 40mm and made from solid Oystersteel. It’s brushed throughout with polished flanks. The screw-down crown locks tight and ensures water resistance to 100 metres. It feels solid and balanced on the wrist. This is the largest Explorer ever made, and it wears with presence but no bulk.

The bezel is smooth and made from polished Oystersteel. It gives the watch a clean, refined edge. There’s no ceramic insert and no clutter—just pure brushed steel and curved case lines. The crystal is flat sapphire and completely scratch resistant.

The dial is black with Chromalight lume on every marker. The signature 3, 6, and 9 Arabic numerals are applied and filled with lume. The white gold Mercedes hands glow blue in low light. The Rolex crown sits cleanly at 12. There’s no date window, no text overload—just perfect legibility.

Inside is the Rolex Calibre 3230. This automatic movement features a Chronergy escapement and Parachrom hairspring. It offers a 70-hour power reserve and is rated to -2/+2 seconds per day. It’s COSC-certified and tested to Rolex Superlative Chronometer standards.

The bracelet is the classic Oyster design with brushed flat links. It includes a folding Oysterlock clasp and an Easylink extension for quick adjustment. It fits snug and stays firm, whether worn daily or for sport.

This watch is in excellent condition. The case and bezel show light surface wear only. The bracelet is clean with no stretch. The dial and crystal are perfect. The movement runs accurately and has been fully tested.

The Rolex Explorer 224270 is a true field watch. It’s made for everyday use but finished with Rolex precision. This 2023 full set is complete, correct, and ready for its next owner. Reliable, sharp, and timeless—this is the Explorer done right.
