Information
Embrace the spirit of exploration with the Rolex Explorer 40 224270 — a modern reinterpretation of Rolex’s iconic tool watch, elevated with contemporary enhancements and timeless design.
Housed in a 40 mm Oystersteel (904L) case, the watch is built to endure. Its polished and brushed finishes deliver both durability and understated elegance. The fixed bezel is smooth and minimalist, drawing attention to the striking black lacquer dial. The signature 3-6-9 Arabic numerals and baton hour markers are crafted in 18k white gold and treated with Chromalight luminous material, emitting a long-lasting blue glow in low light.
At the heart beats the Rolex calibre 3230, a self-winding movement engineered for precision and resilience. It offers a 70-hour power reserve, a Parachrom hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers, and a Superlative Chronometer rating (−2/+2 sec/day after casing).
Complementing the case is a robust Oyster bracelet (three-link) in matching steel, secured with an Oysterlock safety clasp and equipped with the Easylink system for an additional 5 mm of adjustment without using tools. The watch features a Twinlock screw-down crown and a solid screw-back, giving it a water resistance of 100 m (10 ATM) — plenty for daily wear and active lifestyles.
Whether you wear it on an expedition, to the office, or in social settings, the Explorer 40 224270 fuses rugged tool-watch DNA with modern usability and clean design.
