In 1953, Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norgay summited Mount Everest wearing modified Oyster Perpetuals. Neither were actually wearing an Explorer but Rolex were quick to take advantage of this amazing feat of human endurance and launched the Rolex Explorer 6289. In 1959 Rolex released the 6610 which had all the classic hallmarks of the Explorer: stainless steel oyster case measuring 36mm, black dial, 3-6-9 numerals, inverted triangle at the 12 and Mercedes-style hands. The model evolved into the 1016 in 1963 which initially had the calibre 1570 movement. Our collection of used Rolex Explorer watches caters for everyone’s tastes and budgets and included the Rolex Explorer 14270, 114270 and 214270.

In 1989 Rolex discontinued the 1016 and launched the Rolex Explorer 14270 with a 36mm case, Oyster bracelet, 3-6-9 dial and calibre 3000 automatic movement. The acrylic crystal was also replaced with sapphire glass. There were four main version of the Rolex Explorer 14270. Early examples were fitted with 'TSWISS-T<25' dials, then there is the 'Blackout' with black pained 3-6-9 rather than white, the 'SWISS' only and Explorers after 2000 were fitted with 'SWISS MADE' dials.
In 2001, Rolex updated the Explorer and released the Rolex Explorer 114270 with calibre 3130 automatic movement. The 114270 was slightly thicker than the 14270 but the 36mm diameter remained the same. Every Rolex Explorer 114270 was fitted with a "SWISS MADE" dial with superluminova hands and hour markers.
It wasn't until Baselworld 2010 that Rolex released the Rolex Explorer 214270 with in-house calibre 3132 automatic movement. The case also grew to 39mm but the general design remain true to the original with the traditional 3-6-9 dial and oyster bracelet.
