Pre-owned Rolex Explorer ref. 224270 (2024). The Explorer traces its roots to the Himalayan expeditions of the early 1950s and debuted shortly after the historic 1953 ascent of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. For decades, Rolex kept the Explorer at a compact 36mm, a size that suited its straightforward, time-only design. That changed in 2010 when the ref. 214270 grew to 39mm, becoming the only Explorer size available for the next decade. Rolex returned to the traditional 36mm format in 2021, but the story didn’t end there. In 2023, the brand introduced the ref. 224270 at 40mm, giving collectors the choice between classic and contemporary proportions. Despite the larger case, everything that makes an Explorer recognizable is still here, including the black dial, famous 3-6-9 layout, and highly luminescent display.

Classic

Love this one. It still has the classic design and 40mm is just the right size. Dial looks nice and shipping is fast.
