About this watch

The Rolex Explorer, reference 114270, is the mid-generation Explorer that bridged the gap between the iconic 14270 and the current 124270, a watch that carried the Explorer’s essential DNA with complete conviction and has since found a dedicated following among collectors who appreciate its specific character and proportions. This certified pre-owned example from 2005 is offered in very good condition and comes with its full original set, including box, papers, and all original accessories.

Crafted entirely in stainless steel, the 114270 presents the Explorer in its classic 36mm Oyster case with solid end links, clean profile, and smooth bezel keeping the focus entirely on the dial. Introduced in 2001 as the direct successor to the 14270, it brought the Explorer firmly into the modern era while preserving every element that made the original so enduringly loved. Solid, wearable, and built without a single unnecessary concession.

The black dial is as honest and purposeful as the watch itself, with the iconic Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, luminescent hour markers, and Chromalight-filled hands delivering outstanding legibility in any condition. No date window, no complications, no compromises. Just time, told the Rolex Explorer way, as it has been since 1953.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3130, a highly proven in-house automatic movement featuring a Parachrom hairspring for exceptional resistance to magnetic fields and shocks, delivering the precision and reliability expected from a genuine Rolex tool watch.

The watch is fitted with the Oyster bracelet with solid end links and Oysterclasp, offering a secure and comfortable fit that is as ready for the summit as it is for the street.

Available now at Montreva, this certified pre-owned luxury watch is a genuine collector’s opportunity for enthusiasts of pre-owned luxury timepieces in Zürich seeking a pure and purposeful Explorer from the heart of its production run.

A pre-owned watch in Zürich built for those who know exactly where they are going.
