The Explorer, the first replica rolex technical specimen intended for more extreme uses (it is inextricably linked to the conquest of Everest in 1953), returned to its original 1950s size (36 mm) in 2021, introducing a two-tone version and updating the movement. . In your opinion, does the two-tone betray its identity? In our opinion, no, but instead it enriches the offer. And if the new dimensions bring back to the past, the new mechanics projects it into the new millennium.
From a construction point of view, historically we find a very resistant Oyster case, a highly legible dial and traditional replica rolex mechanics. The last update was in 2016 with the introduction of the 39 mm version. Plus the return of luminescence on the dial indexes, more legible thanks to the Chromalight coating in the striking blue color.
The new diameter of 36 mm is a measure that historically belongs to him and which represents the perfect symmetry for a minimalist example such as the Explorer has always been, optimizing the balance between the dimensions of the bezel and the elements of the dial. The reference becomes 124273 and is characterized by the choice of yellow Rolesor for clothing, but a more classic one in Oystersteel is also in the catalog. This two-tone is also a novelty, because until now the Explorer had only been available in steel with a black dial.
Another substantial difference is the movement which is part of the family of 3200 calibers destined to completely supplant the previous 3100 series. The new 3230 caliber implements the functionality of this watch compared to the previous 3132. First of all, it increases the power reserve, which passes to 70. hours to which is added the adoption of the brand-owned Chronergy escapement, used on the new generation Rolex calibers, an optimized version of the Swiss anchor escapement with an efficiency of 15% higher than the traditional escapement.replica watches
