Overview 

The Rolex Explorer 1 224270, introduced in 2023, is a bold new addition to the iconic Explorer line, featuring a 40mm case size that brings a modern twist to this historic collection. Known for its heritage rooted in exploration and mountaineering, the Explorer 1 has always been a symbol of simplicity and ruggedness. With this new 40mm model, Rolex offers a slightly larger version that maintains the classic design elements while catering to those who prefer a more substantial wrist presence.

The new 40mm case, crafted from Rolex’s durable Oystersteel, ensures that the 224270 is as robust and reliable as its predecessors.

The Chromalight display provides exceptional readability in the dark, ensuring the watch performs just as well in challenging environments as in everyday settings.

This movement is designed for those who require reliability and endurance in any situation, making it a true tool watch at its core, while also featuring refined technical advancements for modern wearers.

The 224270 is paired with the Oyster bracelet, featuring the Oysterlock clasp and Easylink extension system for optimal comfort and security. This new model, with its combination of increased case size, refined movement, and timeless Explorer aesthetics, represents a fresh yet familiar take on one of Rolex’s most celebrated tool watches, making it a standout within the Explorer 1 range.
