The Rolex Explorer with model number 214270 started production in 2010. In 2016, the model received an updated dial, and that model of the 214270 remained in production until 2021. The 214270 was discontinued in 2021 and replaced with the 124270.
The defining features of the Rolex Explorer 214270 are its increased size and choices of dials. As mentioned, the dial received an update in 2016, so the dial will differ depending on which year of the 214270 you purchase. Regardless of the dial you choose, the Explorer comes equipped with a stainless steel case and bracelet. It will also be a 39mm case, which fits perfectly on the wrist.
The MK2 variation of the dial featured more proportional hands and Chromalight luminescence under the numerals. Both variations of the model come with a black dial, the Explorer-style dial and 100m of water resistance. This watch is durable, stylish and perfect for sporty and formal occasions alike.
The Rolex Explorer is an elegant sports watch with a rich history of adventure. There’s a reason that this Explorer model was in production for so many years. The sporty style, the clean design and the affordable price point make this a watch that shouldn’t be overlooked. The Rolex 214270 Explorer just recently went out of production, but that doesn’t mean that these pre-owned models aren’t worth your time.
The Rolex Explorer has an illustrious history, with the first Explorer being replaced in honour of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay becoming the first people to summit Mount Everest. The two famous mountaineers were equipped with Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches when they accomplished the feat, so the Explorer is forever linked with this legacy.
