Rolex Explorer, reference 224270
The Explorer on this page is a Rolex reference 224270, sold pre-owned at $9,995. The specification runs to an automatic caliber, a stainless steel Oyster bracelet fitted and 40mm of stainless steel.
Case, dial and crystal
The case on the Rolex Explorer is stainless steel, 40mm wide — a steel case is the least expensive of these to refinish. A black dial sits under the sapphire crystal; sapphire will still be clear when the case is not.
Wearing the Explorer
A stainless steel Oyster bracelet carries it — the Oyster is the everyday choice on a case like this. Size is the thing to get right: at 40mm, this is contemporary sizing, and the most common in this catalog. The crown threads down against the case rather than pushing in.
What drives the Explorer
The movement in this Explorer is automatic — no daily ritual: wear it, and it keeps itself going. Reference 224270 is the number to quote to a watchmaker, and the one to search when you want to compare this against other examples.

It was designed specifically for exploration and mountaineering, with features like a highly legible dial, robust construction, and resistance to extreme temperatures and pressure changes.
