This pioneering move illustrated the company\u2019s ambition to use the wider world as a laboratory, testing its watches in real conditions in order to con- tinually improve them.

Made of nickel-phosphorus, this escapement is resistant to strong magnetic fields. The movement is fitted with a blue Parachrom hairspring, manufactured by Rolex in a paramagnetic alloy. The hairspring offers great stability in the face\u00a0of temperature variations as well as high resistance to shocks. It is equipped with a Rolex overcoil, ensuring the calibre\u2019s regularity in any position.

NEW WATCHES 2023
OYSTER PERPETUAL EXPLORER 40
Adventure on a grand scale
The Explorer range is expanded with the arrival of a new 40 mm model. Offering enhanced legibility, this timepiece carries all the qualities that have made the Explorer – one of the brand’s first Professional watches – a reference throughout the decades. Simple, robust and corrosion resistant, the new Explorer 40 is crafted from Oystersteel, a Rolex proprietary alloy.
Rolex extends the Explorer range with a new model, the Oyster Perpetual Explorer 40, measuring 40 mm in diameter.
The Explorer 40, like the Explorer 36, is faithful to the original model launched in 1953 after the first successful summitting of Mount Everest. Its black lacquer dial carries the numerals 3, 6 and 9, together with the Professional hands, all firmly associated with the identity of this timepiece that embodies the spirit of adventure and perseverance.
Made of Oystersteel and fitted on an Oyster bracelet, the Explorer 40 offers excellent legibility in all circumstances, thanks to its Chromalight display that emits a long-lasting blue glow in dark conditions and, in daylight, is noticeable for its particularly bright white hue.
The Explorer 40 is equipped with calibre 3230, a movement at the forefront of watchmaking tech- nology, which provides essential functions – hours, minutes and seconds.
Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual Explorer 40 carries the Superlative Chronometer certification, which ensures excellent performance on the wrist.
An exploration tool
Presented in 1953, the Explorer is emblematic of the close ties between Rolex and exploration. As early as the 1930s, the brand began to equip numerous Himalayan expeditions with Oyster watches. Among these was the group that included Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the first climbers to reach the Top of the World, at 8,848 metres (29,028 feet). This pioneering move illustrated the company’s ambition to use the wider world as a laboratory, testing its watches in real conditions in order to con- tinually improve them.
