The latest arrival is the early model "Blackout" manufactured around 1991.
Among the all-tritium, single-buckle "Ref. 14270"
This is a rare model that was only available in very limited quantities in the early production runs.
Please take a look.

"Blackout"
It has been confirmed in the early batches "E" and "X" of "Ref.14270".
A dial with black lines on the 3, 6, and 9 indexes instead of white.

In addition, the crown logo and dial markings
There are two types: silver letter (top) and white letter (bottom).

This time, the new arrival is "Black Line + Silver Letter"
It's a popular combination.
Silver Letters x Blackout
It's a Ref. 14270, but the atmosphere is so different that it feels like a completely different watch.
By the way, there is no deterioration that is often seen in early models.
The dial condition is excellent.

This is a comparison photo with Ref. 14270/X (left).
Compared to the model on the left, the index specifications and letter colors are different.
Do you understand?

The second hand has an initial "dot" at the tip.
The blacked out tip dot is a nice touch.
[Tip dot] A second hand with a luminous dot on the outside, which was in existence until the early 1990s.
The luminous material is all tritium.

The condition is good, there are some scratches on the case and bracelet,
There are no noticeable scratches overall and it is in good condition.
*There are scratches on the crown non-openwork glass, but the atmosphere is not affected.
If you look at this photo and think, "What?", you're right.
There is one thing to note about this watch, which was sold by Rolex Japan in the past.
The case has been replaced.
Therefore, although it is an early model, there is no hole in the case.

The attached international service warranty card contains the original serial number.
The original serial number was E8.

The case has been replaced,
The middle case is in excellent condition and is in great condition.

The single bracelet with the same era-matching clasp code "P" engraved on it is also

Wrist shot!!
The black line 3, 6, and 9 indexes are irresistible!
The silver letters are also cool.

The early 5-digit Explorer model "Blackout" is one of the few

It's an outstanding, wonderful specimen!!
