The Oyster Perpetual Explorer is an emblematic timepiece of the Rolex Manufacture, and was made in homage to the conquest of Mount Everest. A feat that was achieved by Sir Edmund Hillary, who made history, along with sherpa Tensing Norgay, by reaching the roof of the world on May 29, 1953, all the while wearing his Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch on his wrist. A few years later, an even more technical model\u2014the Explorer II with GMT function\u2014also made its appearance in 1971 on the wrists of the most extraordinary scientific explorers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These watches not only bore witness to the greatest expeditions of the 20th<\/sup> century, but also took full-fledged part in them. They became valuable tools for explorers, volcanologists and other speleologists, who could rely without fail on these foolproof instruments. This intimate bond of trust between man and his watch was the breeding ground that later allowed for experts from two different worlds\u2014Rolex\u2019s and these professionals\u2014to close the gap between them. Indeed, upon returning from their expeditions, these scientists never fail to inform the watchmaking company about their watch\u2019s performance on the field\u2014which is to say in the harshest and most extreme conditions. This exchange allows for Rolex to improve time and again on its models in order to make them ever more precise, reliable, resistant and legible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current Explorer and Explorer II<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The iconic Explorer has continued to benefit from the latest innovations over the decades, all the while remaining true to its origins. A 39 mm version had been introduced in 2010 with Chromalight-covered hands and hour markers. This exclusive, very long-lasting luminescent material emits a bright blue glow which ensures an unparalleled reading of the time in any given situation: an indispensable asset for adventurous researchers. In 2011, the design of the Explorer II\u2019s case\u2014which is now 42 mm-long in diameter\u2014was redesigned in order to accommodate a fixed 24-hour graduated bezel enabling a second time zone to be read with an additional arrowhead hand. These two different interpretations of the ideal tool-watch for explorers are made of Oystersteel steel and are certified Superlative Chronometer\u2014which is to say they were tested and approved twice, first by Rolex and second by the COSC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors will be immersed in the history of these watches through illustrated panels and numerous videos. They will also be able to discover Rolex\u2019s commitment to preserving the environment through its Perpetual Planet initiative, which aims to support organizations and personalities committed to the exploration and protection of our planet Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
