Rolex 214270 Explorer I SS Mark II Dial

The Rolex Explorer reference 214270, introduced in 2010 and produced until 2021, represents a significant evolution for this iconic model line. Taking the heritage of the original Explorer models to refined new heights, the 214270 features a robust 39mm stainless steel Oyster case and a timeless black dial with the legendary 3-6-9 layout. Powered by the in-house caliber 3132 automatic movement—known for its reliability and Parachrom Bleu hairspring—this Explorer delivers approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Its lug-to-lug height of 47mm and slim 11mm thickness create an exceptionally versatile profile on the wrist, embracing the tool watch ancestry while offering modern comfort. Water resistant to 100 meters, the 214270 remains faithful to Rolex's tradition of durability and precision, making it an ideal companion for both adventure and everyday refinement. This reference marked the upgrade to a larger 39mm case from its predecessor, reflecting changing trends while staying true to Explorer DNA. The understated stainless steel construction and no-date simplicity underscore its pure tool watch ethos—an unadorned icon with a reputation forged over decades of mountaineering and exploration. For collectors, the 214270 stands as a transitional modern classic—honoring its past while subtly evolving its presence for a new generation. Like New with Rolex box and papers dated 2017.
