Oyster Perpetual Rolex Explorer Sail to the outer Limits
The Oyster Perpetual Explorer and Oyster Perpetual Explorer II evolved from Rolex’s deep involvement in exploration. They go where few have ventured. Over the years, the brand has tested these replica watches in real life by outfitting polar, mountaineering, and caving expeditions. Some of the world’s most intrepid explorers, mountaineers, and scientists have taken these watches to places to test their reliability in the most challenging conditions.
Starting in the 1930s, replica Rolex began equipping numerous expeditions with Oyster Perpetual watches. The feedback received was used to develop so-called specialty categories: watches as tools, such as the Explorer and Explorer II. Rolex watches have been involved in some of humanity’s greatest adventures. One of them was the 1953 expedition to Mount Everest led by Sir John Hunt, where Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first men to summit the world’s highest peak.
Launched in 1953, the Explorer’s collection is distinguished by its simple design and highly legible black dial with large hour markers and characteristic 3, 6 and 9 numerals. It is a tool watch that shows the time accurately regardless of the situation. The Chromalight display makes the dial easy to read even in the dark. Today, the Explorer is the same size as the original model, both 36 mm.
The Explorer II was launched in 1971 in the same spirit as the Explorer, continuing Rolex’s special relationship with the Explorer. Thanks to its 24-hour display that includes an additional orange hour hand and an engraved bezel, the Explorer II allows the wearer to clearly distinguish between day and night – a practical option in places where it is difficult to tell day from night, such as at the poles at certain times of the year, as well as in caves, or to read the time in a second-time zone.
The Explorer collection of watches has evolved to meet the needs of explorers, becoming more robust and reliable each time. The Explorer is available in Oyster steel or yellow Rolesor versions (combining Oyster steel and gold), while the Explorer II is made entirely in Oyster steel. Developed especially for Replica Rolex President, Oyster steel is a unique alloy with outstanding corrosion resistance.
Both models are equipped with the Oyster bracelet, a three-piece link bracelet known for its robustness. It is equipped with the copy Rolex-designed and patented Oysterlock folding safety clasp, which prevents accidental opening, and the Easylink comfort extension link; developed by the brand, allows the wearer to adjust the strap length by approximately 5 mm easily.
The Explorer is equipped with the caliber 3230, while the Explorer II is equipped with the caliber 3285. Both are self-winding mechanical movements entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. They offer a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
