RolexExplorerModel No: 224270

The unveiling of this Rolex Explorer 40 reference 224270 at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2023 marked a significant moment for watch enthusiasts worldwide. Responding to clamours for a larger version of the iconic Explorer, Rolex introduced this 40mm iteration alongside the existing classic 36mm reference 124270. This move is noteworthy, as Rolex typically adheres closely to its timeless designs, rarely deviating from established norms. The Explorer 40 caters perfectly to those who admired the original 36mm model but desired a larger timepiece to complement their sizable wrists.

Featuring a sleek round case and a smooth bezel, this Explorer 40 boasts a black dial adorned with distinctive Arabic numerals at three, six, and nine o'clock in lume. The luminous Mercedes hands crafted in 18k white gold enhances legibility. The watch is meticulously crafted from corrosion-resistant Oystersteel and elegantly paired with an Oyster bracelet. Lastly, the inclusion of the 3230 calibre offers a remarkable power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
