Launched in 1953, today the durable Rolex Explorer is known for its iconic black 3-6-9 dial, a straightforward time-only layout with Mercedes hands, and its Mt. Everest-related marketing campaign.
Today, the Explorer is offered in both 36mm and 40mm sizes. While it was traditionally known as a steel watch focused purely on durability, the 36mm is now offered in a two-tone version.
