explorer 1 t-swiss frozen - vintage first series N

Rolex Explorer 1 watch, in an early version of the 14270 model, the Rolex explorer movement calibre 3000 variant T-swiss frozen dial. A self-winding collector's watch, chronometer-certified for its timekeeping precision. This emblematic and famous model of the professional Rolex range replaced the reference explorer 1016 at the end of the eighties with initially the interior of the trilogy of numbers 3 6 9 painted in black, then quickly afterwards with an interior enriched with tritium, as on the model explorer 14270 T-Swiss Frozen presented here.

The particularity of the Rolex explorer 14270 Frozen dial model is that it is equipped with a dial which naturally, over time, will see the bottom of the originally black lacquered dial become matte black. Its luminescent surfaces are enriched with tritium, as indicated by the mention T SWISS - T<25  inscribed at the bottom of the dial. Over time, Tritium surfaces, like the Luminova or Superluminova models, will take on a light tan colour and gradually acquire a patina.

Self-winding movement Rolex calibre 3000 with 27 jewels, a robust and enduring chronometer-certified movement which, after a complete winding session, has an autonomy of forty-eight hours. Sapphire crystal, steel case thirty-six millimetres in diameter, crown and screwed back. Oyster bracelet with adjustable and adjustable folding clasp. This watch, once worn only by men, has become the favourite watch for women today.

Combining the advantage of a unisex line and a resistance to the elements qualified as professional (it is also located in the Rolex range of watches for professionals such as the Rolex sea-dweller or the Rolex submariner), its modest size for this range of watches with generally larger formats clearly distinguishes it from the rest of the range. Even if it was manufactured after 2010 in 39 mm, its size returned to the original 36 mm diameter since this dimension was crucial for its use and appreciation.

In terms of collection, the Rolex Explorer 14270 will seduce its use by many collectors, its history, its pivotal role between Rolex ranges, and its gorgeous frozen tritium dial, which evolves thanks to tritium and its superb patina in the making. It is no mystery that this model will remain one of the most sought-after in the explorer 1 series, ideally located between the vintage watches with modern features. Men and women will want to wear it every day because its discreet appearance will allow it to accompany you everywhere without asking questions and without being afraid of damaging it during outdoor or nautical activities.

The Rolex explorer 14270 frozen tritium dial watch is in perfect working order. This watch is guaranteed for two years and comes with a travel case and a Mostra certificate of authenticity. It is also visible in our second-hand and collectable watch store in Aix en Provence on the Cours Mirabeau at 3 place Forbin.
