Rolex Explorer 214270 (2018) – Black Dial

The Rolex Explorer 214270 represents one of the purest expressions of Rolex’s tool-watch heritage. Rooted in the legacy of the original Explorer models that followed the historic Everest expeditions, the 214270 refines the formula with modern proportions, enhanced lume, and a perfectly balanced 39mm case.

This 2018 example features the highly desirable Mk2 dial, distinguished by fully lumed 3-6-9 Arabic numerals for improved legibility and a more symmetrical, contemporary aesthetic. The crisp black dial contrasts beautifully against the polished white gold hour markers and Mercedes handset, delivering exceptional clarity in any environment.

Crafted from Rolex’s proprietary Oystersteel, the 39mm Oyster case offers outstanding durability while maintaining a sleek, understated presence on the wrist. Powered by the reliable in-house Caliber 3132, this Explorer delivers precision timekeeping, a Parachrom hairspring for enhanced resistance to shocks and magnetism, and approximately 48 hours of power reserve.

Unlike flashier sports models, the Explorer 214270 stands apart for its versatility. It transitions effortlessly from expedition-ready durability to refined everyday wear — making it one of the most balanced and wearable modern Rolex references.

For collectors and investors alike, the 214270 represents the final 39mm Explorer before Rolex transitioned the line to a 36mm format, adding long-term collectibility appeal to this reference.
