EXPLORER I

Explorer I

The Explorer I is a sports Rolex model but features a simple design. The case diameter of the current model "Ref.124270" is 36 mm, and it can be worn by a wide range of people regardless of gender.
The index is a simple design that combines a black dial with 3/6/9 Arabic numerals and bars. With a highly visible design, it is possible to accurately determine the time in any situation. The design, which pursues the original functionality of the watch by removing unnecessary decorations and checking the time, has remained unchanged even now, more than 60 years after its birth.

誕生以来、デザイン自体に大きな変更はありませんが、細かな機能などは常に改良が重ねられています。1960年には、耐衝撃性と安定性に優れたフリースプラング式ムーブメントを搭載。1990年にはムーブメント振動数をハイビート化した「Cal3000」搭載モデルが発表されました。
最近では2016年に、3・6・9インデックスに長時間発光が継続するクロマライト夜光が採用され、夜間や暗所での視認性が格段に向上しています。多くの細かな改良を重ね続けて、実用性を高めている点も、エクスプローラーの魅力のひとつです。

The movement of a general wristwatch uses a speed governor that directly touches the beard fern. However, Explorer I uses a speed governor called "Free Sprang" that does not touch the beard fern. By adopting the free sprung, the watch does not go out of order due to the impact of dropping, unlike the conventional wristwatch.
In addition, it is equipped with a uniquely developed seismic device called "Paraflex Shock Absorber" that has higher shock absorption capacity than conventional seismic springs, and is robust enough to withstand harsh environments and keeps time accurately. It has precision. It is a model that is gaining popularity from a wide range of generations because there is little concern about breakdowns.
