Rolex Explorer I 114270 36mm (2005)

The Rolex Explorer I ref. 114270 is a timeless and understated tool watch designed for understated elegance and rugged reliability. With its classic 36 mm Oystersteel case, black dial featuring the iconic 3-6-9 Arabic numerals, and Mercedes hands, it conveys the spirit of adventure and simplicity — a tribute to Rolex’s mountaineering heritage. Under the hood, it’s powered by Rolex’s in-house self-winding Calibre 3130, offering a 48-hour power reserve and robust performance. The sapphire crystal, smooth steel bezel, and 100 m water resistance make it capable for both urban and outdoor wear, while the solid-end-link Oyster bracelet gives it a sturdy and balanced feel on the wrist.
