The extremely popular Explorer I semi-vintage model "Ref. 14270" has just arrived, so let us introduce it to you right away!

"Ref. 14270" manufactured from E to P (around 1991 to 2000)

Like the 16520, the market price for this model has risen sharply recently.

Tritium watches, especially those with single buckles, were easy to find a while ago, but it seems that the situation has changed now.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a specimen in top condition,
If you're looking for it, be sure to check it out.

The item we have in stock this time is the early model N4.

This watch perfectly captures the characteristics of the early model, including tritium luminous finish, a side-hole case, and a single buckle.
Above all, this is a rare specimen with a strikingly bright index luminous finish.

Even so, this particular piece has a nice burnt finish!

Compared to the Submariner, Sea-Dweller, and other models,
I have the impression that there are very few Ref.14270s that have been burned.
It's rare to see a specimen with such intense patina.

The Ref. 14270 with top-class tanning is like a completely different watch!

The contrast between the white lines at 3, 6, and 9 and the burnt tritium luminous material is really cool.

We hope you will pick up a copy and take a look!

While many dials from this era inevitably show signs of deterioration,
The condition is also excellent,
It is in good condition even when viewed through a magnifying glass.

It is honestly quite rare to come across a watch with such beautiful dial condition and top-class tanning.

The luminous material is all tritium.

The condition of the luminous hands is in good condition with no cracks visible.

The overall condition is kept beautiful,
The case and bracelet are in excellent condition!

The middle case is in the condition you see here!
This is a great case that maintains the original shape!

This is a crisp and attractive lug shape!
The hairline is also in good condition!

The side-hole cases are already becoming less common, so a watch in this perfect condition is definitely rare!

As you can see, the case side is also in good condition!!

Buckle clasp code is "R9"

The crisp bracelet is in top condition with no signs of crease at all!

The buckle clasp is still in good condition!

The case back is slightly deteriorated, but the reflector seal remains.

Accessories include box (with reflector seal), warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag,
Explorer booklet (92), Oyster booklet (92), calendar (92-93) and extra frames (full frames)
We have the following items.

The outer box comes with a reflector seal!

Wrist shot!! He looks great!!
Enjoy top-class grilling!!

The highly popular semi-vintage model, the Explorer I "Ref. 14270/N4"
The dial is in excellent condition and has a rare patina finish with excellent tritium fading!
The case and bracelet are in top-class condition.
If you come across such a high-quality specimen with all the accessories, it's your chance!
This is a collector's item that is hard to come by these days, so don't miss out!
If you are looking for Ref.14270/Single Tritium , please consider this!
