Rolex’s contribution to the expedition world is celebrated to date. The brand’s long, storied history includes making tool watches for explorers in the 1930s. Since then, Rolex watches became an essential part of an expedition kit. 

In 1953, a Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch accompanied Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay while reaching the summit of Mount Everest. And Rolex paid homage to that successful expedition by introducing the first Explorer collection in the same year later. 

Interestingly, you can experience the same robust case and clean design in the new Rolex Explorer 2021 watch. Moreover, the watch returns to its original 36mm case size, nodding to the storied adventurous history. So let’s dig into the details of the new Rolex Explorer 2021.

The New Rolex Explorer 2021

The new Explorer series was the least expected release from Rolex 2021. A very few people might have seen it turning up. Nonetheless, Rolex released new Explorer 36 watches – one in stainless steel and another in bi-tone Rolesor (a mix of gold and steel).

Over the years, Rolex bulked up the design of the Explorer. However, Rolex offered a cleaner silhouette to the watch for this year, returning the original 36mm diameter. And the Arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock sides elevate the watch’s legibility. 

Rolex has drawn the smaller proportions in the yellow Rolesor model. The yellow Rolesor is a combination of the brand’s patented Oystersteel and 18ct yellow gold. 

• However, the black glossy lacquered dial perfectly complements the exclusive yellow Rolesor construction. 
• The dial features luminous hour markers and hands that glow blue in the dark. 
• Moreover, it ensures to shine for a stunning eight hours, making the watch a perfect companion for adventurers in any settings. 

Overall, Rolex has been consistently maintaining the original design and aesthetics of the Explorer since its first launch. Following the successful Everest expedition, the brand introduced the Explorer offering a robust case and legible dial for a practical utility. However, this guaranteed impressive popularity and desirability among the dauntless. 

The explorers or adventurers’ preoccupation may have changed – striving to protect the land today rather than discovering new land. However, their watch of choice has remained the same to date.
