Rolex And Exploration

Rolex shines with their new-generation Oyster Perpetual Explorer and Explorer II watches that take us from the highest mountain peaks to the most isolated polar regions.

The Explorer was born at the top of the world in 1953, and has been strapped to the wrists of legendary mountaineers since then. The brand's ambition to use the world as a laboratory, particularly the highest peak on Earth, Mount Everest, has evolved the Explorer to meet explorers' needs, each time becoming more robust and easier to read.

The Explorer has adapted to the most extreme environments, where time management is often key to survival. Watches in the Explorer range have mastered the extreme frontiers of exploration - from mountain tops to the depths of caves, in the biting cold of the Arctic or the searing heat of volcanoes. On all forms of adventure the Explorer II, thanks to its 24-hour display, became the watch of choice for polar explorers, speleologists and volcanologists.

The new-generation Oyster Perpetual Explorer and Explorer II launched this year are emblematic of Rolex's perpetual drive on its never-ending quest for excellence. It does so without sacrificing the essential requirements it is best known for its performance and elegance.
