Yet for some, the 39mm was just right!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThose who want an Explorer in a slightly larger size, the Reference 214270 seen here is, for now, the only option. This particular example is in excellent condition throughout, featuring a stunning case and an as-new dial and handset. Additionally, this watch comes with its warranty card dated 10\/23\/2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe newest 36mm model might be the hot ticket of the moment, but this 39mm version may just be the next collectible Reference of the line.\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! It really doesn't get more badass than that.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39491314253911,"sku":"40920796","price":13790.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS05112_40920796_ROLEX_EXPLORERI39MM_214270-6.jpg?v=1637348314","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/rolex-explorer-39mm-as05112","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
