Complete with its set of boxes, books, hangtag and warranty card, this watch is less than a year old, still under warranty from Rolex, and ready to go to a new home - grab it before they start climbing!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its feet firmly rooted in the classic design of the early Explorers - a simple black dial with 3, 6, 9 Arabic numerals -- albeit a more avant-garde approach to the look --and 36mm Oyster case, the 14270 is every bit as much an Explorer as the original models that pulled their own weight up Everest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe day was May 29, 1953, and Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay stood on top of the world. Rolex had indeed come with them to the summit of Mount Everest and since then Rolex has long been known as the watch of exploration. \u003c\/span\u003eThe triumph of the 1953 expedition and spirit of adventure and exploration that the Explorer represents can certainly be felt when this watch is strapped to your wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese were watches designed to be tough as nails and capable of operating effectively in the harshest conditions known to man. \u003c\/span\u003eWhether it was diving to the lowest point or climbing to the highest, you've got to hand it to Rolex - they know how to build one hell of a sports watch!
