{"product_id":"rolex-oyster-explorer-1","title":"Rolex Oyster Explorer","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLong before the iconic 3-6-9 black dials and Ref. 1016, this was the watch that first carried the \"Explorer\" name. A transitional masterpiece from the early 1940s, born in wartime exploration and pre-Everest ambition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe dial boldly declares \"OYSTER EXPLORER\" in crisp lettering; a deliberate omission of the \"Rolex\" name that marks the earliest and purest expressions of the line. The Oyster case features two-tone steel and gold accents, bold Arabic numerals, and a rare small seconds sub-register at 6 o'clock. The oversized winding crown speaks of serious field use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis reference represents the very first chapter of the Explorer saga: the bridge between pre-war Oyster Perpetual chronometers that survived extreme conditions and the legendary post-1953 Explorer that celebrated Hillary and Norgay's triumph. On the wrist, it feels purposeful and quietly historic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis is where the Explorer was born. Not in 1953 with fanfare; but earlier, in steel, gold, and with quiet determination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45178446577687,"sku":"DR-N.207.BC.011.L-LNIB-WATCH","price":9750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0165\/1838\/files\/7551BF12-1452-47F5-818C-733A37067A8A.jpg?v=1779972760","url":"https:\/\/www.highendtime.com\/products\/rolex-oyster-explorer-1","provider":"HIGHENDTIME","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
