Rolex Explorer 224270 40mm (2025)

The Rolex Explorer 40 (ref. 224270) seamlessly blends rugged sport-watch utility with understated elegance. Encased in Oystersteel, its 40 mm diameter and sleek 11.6 mm height provide a balanced presence for both active wear and refined settings. The black dial is classic Explorer with large luminous 3-6-9 Arabic numerals and “Mercedes” hands, all filled with Chromalight for long-lasting blue luminescence. Within beats the in-house Calibre 3230, a COSC-certified “Superlative Chronometer” offering a robust ~70-hour power reserve, anti-magnetic and shock-resistant features. The watch is fitted with the Oyster bracelet featuring the Oysterlock clasp and the 5 mm Easylink comfort extension — a subtle luxury touch. With 100 m water resistance and a smooth bezel, the Explorer 224270 is as ready for the mountains as it is for the office, embodying the essence of the “go-everywhere” Rolex sports model.
