In the recent past, we have all known Rolex Explorer as an elegant 39mm sports watch meant as much for adventures as for curated sartorial looks. But before Rolex introduced this 39mm version in 2010, Explorer had been a dainty 36mm since its release in 1953. So in 2021, the maison championed nostalgia by launching a new 36mm Explorer, reference 124270.

With a reduced diameter, this reference delivers the quintessential Explorer characteristics for those who love small-sized timepieces. Its solid stainless steel body is well-balanced by the legible black dial that shines with a pop of blue at night, thanks to the brand's Chromalight display. Signatures like the mix of the index and Arabic numeral hour markers and Mercedes hands add to the overall excellence of the watch.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
