You are looking at an amazing 40mm Rolex Explorer 224270. The watch was purchased new by me from Bucherer in late November 2023. The watch is in excellent looking and working condition. It may have a light mark here and there on the case and/or bracelet consistent with normal, loving wear. The crystal is free and clear of marks. All of the original links are included.

The watch includes the original box and papers, including the stamped warranty card, dated November 26, 2023, so the watch is still covered for quite some time under Rolex’ international warranty.

The watch is really amazing. I’m only selling due to a personal life change that has required me to obtain more income to live due to unexpected increased expenses. I’m sad to see it go. Not to give a sob story, just know that you’re getting an amazing, authentic watch that was worn with care and love, while also helping someone in need who’s going through a tough time. I really appreciate even reading this and considering.

From my personal collection, adult-owned in a nonsmoking home. Includes insured shipping to you. Continental US ONLY!

Thank you!

The Oyster Perpetual Explorer 40 in Oystersteel features a distinctive black dial with characteristic 3, 6, and 9 numerals with a Chromalight display.

Optimal legibility in any situation
The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. The Explorer model’s characteristic 3, 6 and 9 numerals are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting blue glow, like the hour markers and hands.
Like all Rolex timepieces, the Explorer 40's dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.

An established icon
The Oyster Perpetual Explorer 40 imparts a fresh elan to the sober, clean lines that have long established it as an icon.
The smooth bezel in Oystersteel is robust yet elegant, and in perfect harmony with the Explorer’s iconic heritage.

Highly resistant to corrosion
Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential.
Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.

Alchemy of form and function
The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology, designed to be both robust and comfortable. It is equipped with an Oysterlock folding clasp, which prevents accidental opening and the Easylink comfort extension link, also exclusive to Rolex.
This ingenious system allows the wearer to increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, providing additional comfort in any circumstance.
