A spectacular time piece ready to enjoy for many years to come! A new Rolex at a reasonable price, making it deceptively accessible. The Explorer range is expanded with the arrival of a new 40 mm model.
Offering enhanced legibility, this timepiece carries all the qualities that have made the Explorer - one of the brand's first tool-watches - a reference throughout the decades. Simple, robust and corrosion resistant, the new Explorer 40 is crafted from Oystersteel, an alloy specific to Rolex. The satin finishes on the middle case, bracelet and clasp, and the light reflections from the polished flanks of the case are an invitation to look afresh at this iconic watch with its understated harmony.
The Movement: Powering the Rolex Explorer 40 is the calibre 3230 with automatic winding and a astonishing power reserve of 70-hours. As with most Rolex manufacture movements it has superlative chronometer certification, basically COSC on steroids. The Dial: The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. The Explorer model's characteristic 3, 6 and 9 numerals are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting blue glow, like the hour markers and hands. Like all Rolex timepieces, the Explorer 40's dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.
The Bezel: The Oyster Perpetual Explorer 40 imparts a fresh elan to the sober, clean lines that have long established it as an icon. The smooth bezel in Oystersteel is robust yet elegant, and in perfect harmony with the Explorer's iconic heritage. The Case: Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments. The Oyster bracelet: Developed at the end of the 1930s, this three-piece link bracelet remains the most universal in the Oyster Perpetual collection and is known for its robustness. Case/dial: 40m diameter x 11.6mm thickness, Oystersteel (stainless steel) case, black lacquer dial. Water resistance: 100m (10 bar). Movement: Rolex calibre 3230, automatic, 31 jewels. Frequency: 28,800 vph (4 Hz). Please note this Rolex is a new item with tags.
