Rolex: Explorer 40mm - 224270

A modern evolution of an iconic Rolex design, the Explorer 224270 brings subtle refinements to one of the most recognisable tool watches in the brand’s history. Now offered in a 40 mm case size, this reference balances a larger wrist presence with the same classic proportions that have defined the Explorer line for over half a century.

Crafted from Rolex’s proprietary Oystersteel, the case is built for durability, daily wear, and timeless appeal. The high-contrast black dial features the signature 3-6-9 hour markers in Chromalight lume, offering long-lasting blue glow in low light. Powered by the Rolex Calibre 3230, this model boasts a 70-hour power reserve, COSC certification, and anti-magnetic tech for precision in any environment.

Whether you're adding to a collection or looking for a robust everyday Rolex, this Explorer represents one of the purest expressions of functional luxury.
