Black dial
The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. The Explorer model’s characteristic 3, 6 and 9 numerals are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting blue glow, like the hour markers and hands. Like all Rolex timepieces, the Explorer 36's dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.
Black dial
The dial’s luminescent Chromalight display is an innovation that improved visibility in dark environments, an essential feature for divers. Hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – and broad hour and minute hands enable instant and reliable reading to prevent any risk of confusion underwater.
Smooth Bezel
The Oyster Perpetual Explorer 36 imparts a fresh elan to the sober, clean lines that have long established it as an icon. The smooth bezel in Oystersteel is robust yet elegant, and in perfect harmony with the Explorer’s iconic heritage.
Model availability
All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the
utmost care to ensure exceptional quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production
capacity and, at times, the demand for Rolex watches outpaces this capacity.
Therefore, the
availability of certain models may be limited. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official
Rolex Retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation and sales of
watches to customers.
Chatham Luxury Watches is proud to be part of the worldwide network of
Official Rolex Retailers and can provide information on the availability of Rolex watches.
