Rolex Explorer I has always been one of the most popular and attractive watches, black dial and 3-6-9 Arabic numeral hour markers gave Explorer I charming style – elegant and sports. It was the favorite of celebrities and has been reported by many popular watch magazines, even Explorer I has become the darling of fashion in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. The initiator leading this trend was Takuya Kimura in the film Love Generation. Because Love Generation was very hot, the crystal apple that appeared occasionally in the movie, the Explorer I Ref. 14270 Takuya Kimura wore and other related items, they therefore became the center of public attention.(You feel exaggerated ? So imagine that: in the film Beautiful Life, which was played by Takuya Kimura and Takako Tokiwa, there were even some people rushed to buy the wheelchair that was sat by Takako Tokiwa, you could realize the craziness of groupies.)
Love Generation still: left is crystal apple, the right shows Takuya Kimura was wearing Explorer 14270.
Leaving groupies’ fanaticism, Explorer I itself was actually a very attractive watch, besides its technological achievements, there were full of historical allusions behind the sports and elegant appearance of Explorer I, like Rolex’s other sports models. Although the latest
Explorer I Ref. 114270 (that was introduced in 2001) was still similar to 14270 in appearance, it has a few modifications, the most obvious was the original 3-6-9 luminous hour markers have been replaced by metal markers, case design, movement and crystal glass also had slight changes.
