For the first time in the more than 50-year history of the Rolex Explorer, the Crown's simplest and most discreet stainless steel sport watch, known for bridging tool-watch toughness and dress watch dimensions, tipped . The evolution of the Explorer can be traced in a fairly straight line, from the “Ovettone” 5098 and 6098 models, to the 6150, and ultimately to the 6350, widely regarded as the first “official” Explorer, aka Explorer I (below). For the first time in the more than 50-year history of the Rolex Explorer, the Crown's simplest and most discreet stainless steel sport watch, known for bridging tool-watch toughness and dress watch dimensions, tipped the 36mm scale and sized the Explorer up to a 39mm case.The Rolex Explorer was introduced to the world in 1953, establishing a lasting connection between its brand and one of the most significant accomplishments in human history: the first successful climb of Mount Everest.
Enter the Rolex Explorer 14270, a watch that at one time was referred to as having "no horological interest whatsoever" by watch writer Walt Odets and the first Rolex ever purchased by Ben Clymer. The 14270 was released at the Basel Fair in 1989 and put Rolex at the cross-section of sport and luxury.Guided by their unswerving determination and driven by sheer stamina, they were the first people to see the Himalayas from the summit of Mount Everest, at an altitude of 8,848 metres (29,029 feet). The expedition was equipped with Oyster Perpetual chronometers.

In May 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first climbers to successfully summit the peak, carrying with them Rolex’s prototype Oyster Perpetual watches, which later inspired the creation of the Rolex Explorer.Many people know the Rolex Explorer as the watch worn by Sir Edmund Hilary when he summited Mt Everest. The first climber in recorded history to do so. Only problem is, Hilary wasn’t wearing a Rolex at the time. Nor did the Rolex Explorer model exist yet. The Explorer is a Rolex sport watch in its purest form. It’s unflashy but recognizable, and it presents the features, design language and history that underpins multiple icons of the brand. Most of all, however, it’s known as the watch that accompanied the first humans confirmed to summit Mount Everest. (Sort of.) The first Explorer sold by Rolex was almost 20 years before the conquest of Everest, didn’t have the 3/6/9 dial, or even a black dial, was a manual-wind watch and didn’t even have the Rolex name on the dial.
A prototype Explorer made it up Mount Everest, on the wrist of Sir John Hunt, and there was speculation as to whether Tenzig Norgay made Rolex the first watch to reach the summit. However, Hillary has since revealed that he touched the summit before Norgay, and had in fact worn a Smiths watch.
