The Explorer is the ultimate simple watch, developed and designed with a focus on durability and visibility for explorers who venture into places where no man has gone before.
Since its birth in 1953, the small case size and simple design have earned it high support from people of all ages and genders. In particular, the third generation "Ref. 1016" is a long-selling model that was manufactured for about 30 years, and is still very popular even more than 30 years after production ended. It has established its position as one of Rolex's representative adventure watches, along with the "Explorer II."
