The reference 214270 marked a turning point for Rolex's Explorer line: introduced in 2010, it expanded the historic 36 mm case to a more contemporary 39 mm while preserving every defining element of the original 1953 design — the black dial, the iconic 3-6-9 Arabic numerals, and the minimalist time-only layout that has defined the model since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's expedition to the summit of Everest.
- Reference: 214270
