Rolex Explorer 1 36mm 114270 2010 Discontinued [Preowned]

Overview 

The Rolex Explorer 1 reference 114270 embodies the purest spirit of adventure, serving as a direct link to the watches that accompanied pioneering explorers to the world's most challenging terrains. Introduced in 2001, this model continued the legacy of a timepiece designed for unwavering reliability and legibility, representing the quintessential "tool watch" aesthetic, stripped down to its essentials.

At its core, the 114270 features the iconic 36mm Oystersteel case, a historically accurate size beloved by purists for its balanced proportions and superb fit. The signature black dial is renowned for its clean layout, with the recognizable 3-6-9 Arabic numerals and Mercedes hands filled with Super-LumiNova. Importantly, this reference—particularly models from its final years—features the engraved inner rehaut (Rolex Rolex Rolex around the dial edge), a modern security feature that enhances the watch's identity and visual depth.

Powering the 114270 is the robust and highly reliable Rolex Calibre 3130, an in-house automatic movement certified as a Superlative Chronometer. This movement ensures exceptional precision and durability, living up to Rolex's stringent performance standards. The watch is completed by the solid Oyster bracelet and secured by the Oysterlock clasp, providing a rugged yet refined appeal.

The Rolex Explorer 1 36mm 114270 holds a special place in the hearts of collectors because the 2010 year of production marks its final year before being discontinued. This makes this specific generation highly sought after. It represents a timeless blend of heritage, classic 36mm dimensions, and modern security features like the rehaut, marking it as an authentic and desirable piece of Rolex's adventurous history.
