The Rolex Explorer or the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II evolved from Rolex’s deep involvement with exploration. In 1953, Rolex sponsored a ground-breaking expedition to Mount Everest the world's highest peak and gave Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay with an Oyster Perpetual. The "Explorer" branding was registered in Geneva later in the same year, and the watches were prototyped individually for this Summit bid.
Rolex tested these watches in real life by giving them to polar mountaineering and caving expedition’s experts over the years. Some of earth’s most fearless mountaineers, explorers, and scientists took the almost unbreakable Rolex Explorer watches to places that tested their reliability in the strident conditions. Buying a Rolex Explorer means owning one of the most sporty, rugged and versatile models in the brand’s catalog.
