Unworn watch Rolex Explorer 40, Oystersteel, 40mm, Ref# 224270-0001. New for 2023, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer 40 marks the expansion of the iconic series of the prestigious professional watch family by adding a new 40mm Oystersteel version. Elegant and versatile, this stunning timepiece is the perfect luxury companion for those who love to push boundaries. The stunning chronometer features a black lacquered dial with a crisp Chromalight display with a long blue glow. It is the perfect backdrop for the luminous 18k White Gold hour markers in the form of rectangles, Explorer-specific numerals 3, 6, 9 and an inverted triangle at 12 o'clock. The polished Mercedes-branded hour hand and the Breguet-style sword-shaped minute hand are crafted from 18k White Gold and filled with luminescent material that emits a long-lasting glow. The graceful second hand with a round tip and a luminous circle in front of the hand is also made of 18k White Gold. A well-readable minute scale is applied along the outer contour of the dial.  The characteristic design of the model is emphasized by a ribbed, screw-down crown made of Oystersteel Triplock with double waterproof system, adorned with the Rolex logo. The dial is covered with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. A solid Oystersteel screw-down case back with fine fluted edges, closes the movement. The Smooth Oystersteel bezel brings freshness to the austere, clean lines of a watch that has long been an icon. Rugged yet elegant, it fits in perfectly with the Explorer's storied heritage. The in-house Rolex mechanical movement, caliber 3230, contains 31 jewels and has an approximate power reserve of approximately 70 hours powers the model. This delightful timepiece is presented on an Oystersteel Oyster bracelet three-piece solid links.  He features an original Rolex's Oysterlock folding safety clasp with Easylink 5 mm comfort extension link for securely fixing the watch on the wrist. Water resistant up to 100m/330ft (10 ATM).
