Relatively the same since its introduction in 1953 as a tribute to Sir Edmund Hillary ad Sherpa Tenzing Norgay’s conquest of Mount Everest, the Rolex Explorer recently underwent a dramatic make-over courtesy of London’s BAMFORD WATCH DEPARTMENT. Beautifully done in all-black Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) finish, the artisans at BAMFORD also re-touched the numerals in black, leaving just the indices and branding in contrast white. Extremely exclusive, this beauty in black is now available through special order via BAMFORD WATCH DEPARTMENT.
