Buy Rolex Explorer: the history of the model
The Rolex Explorer was launched in 1954 and has a long history as one of the Swiss brand's most robust watches.
The Rolex Explorer is currently available in two sizes (36 and 40 mm), and its silhouette has remained largely unchanged over the years. The watch is typically made in Oystersteel, but it's also available in a two-tone version combining steel and yellow gold.
Inside the watch sits the calibre 3230, one of the finest movements being produced today. It's a fully automatic movement with a power reserve of around 70 hours and is COSC-certified, meaning it has been independently tested for accuracy and precision. Because the current Rolex Explorer also uses a Parachrom hairspring (anti-magnetic) and Paraflex shock absorbers, the watch is well protected against shocks, temperature variations and more.
The options for personalising a Rolex Explorer are intentionally limited. The watch comes exclusively on the Oyster bracelet and is always fitted with a black dial — a deliberate nod to its utilitarian, tool-watch roots.
As a daily watch, the Rolex Explorer is hard to beat. Its robust case and bracelet make it a real pleasure to wear. It sits so comfortably on the wrist that, after a while, you barely notice you're wearing it.

Frequently asked questions about Rolex
One of the most popular men's watches from Rolex is the Datejust, which has proven itself for years as an elegant but at the same time sporty watch. In addition, the Rolex Daytona is of course a great watch from the Swiss brand, and has won the hearts of many Rolex fans for decades. The Rolex Submariner is very popular due to its sporty and robust appearance. Finally, the Rolex GMT-Master can be seen as one of the most popular men's watches, due to its functions and beautiful look and feel.
Many ladies are charmed by the Lady-Datejust, a watch that will look beautiful and is suitable for both a sporty and chic look. In addition to the Lady-Datejust, the Yacht-Master is becoming increasingly popular as a ladies' watch. This model is available in various sizes and materials, and is suitable for both larger and slimmer wrists. Furthermore, the Rolex Day-Date is a very popular women's watch to this day. The beautiful combinations make it possible to select the watch entirely to your own taste.
The advantage of a Pre-Owned (second-hand) or Unworn Rolex watch is that it is possible to purchase it immediately and thus avoid the long waiting lists that sometimes exist. Some models may have to wait for years in 2023 before they are finally available. At Amstel Watches we have a large stock of Pre-Owned and Unworn watches, making it possible for your dream watch to be immediately available for purchase.
Many watches in our range have a manufacturer's warranty that still applies, but this is of course indicated with the watch itself on our website. In addition, it is wise to contact us to inquire whether the warranty still applies to the watch.
Most Rolex watches are waterproof and are tested for water resistance before leaving the factory. It is of course important to screw the crown of the watch properly if you have adjusted the time, date or day. By screwing the crown properly, the timepiece is hermetically sealed from the outside world and moisture cannot penetrate normally. It is of course wise to find out in advance whether your watch is waterproof. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
