2020 Rolex Explorer 39 / Mark 2

The Rolex Explorer benefited from experience gained in the Himalayas, acquiring its clearly distinctive hour and minute hands, and its landmark, highly legible, black dial with luminescent indices and large Arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. It is designed for optimal legibility even in the dark – a crucial feature for explorers. It stood at the base for all Oyster Professional models that followed. This reference is distinguished by its 39 mm case, 3mm larger compared to earlier models. This variation was introduced in 2016 with the main difference being the luminous markers at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock. This designates this dial as a Mark 2.
