Description
While all Rolex sports models share a similar style, I believe the dial on the Explorer (also known as the Explorer One or Explorer 1) is the most iconic of all Rolex watches. The dial offers the absolute minimim of information needed to read the time, emphasizing function over form, yet it achieves an elegance that was surely never intended. Rolex designed the original Explorer as a watch for climbers, and the watch figured prominently in early Rolex advertisements for its role in helping early explorers to summit Mount Everest.
Original case is stainless steel with dimensions of 35mm diameter by 12mm thick. Domed acrylic crystal. Screw down crown (operating well). Case number 1054XXX. Inside caseback is engraved with production code of first quarter 1964, which is supported by the serial number. Original movement is the automatic winding Rolex Caliber 1560 with 26 jewels, which is running strong and is in perfect condition. Original gilt dial is clean and beautiful.
