Story
Built for those who believe the real luxury is the freedom to go anywhere, the 39mm Explorer Mk2 nails the sweet spot between presence and wearability. Equally at home under a shirt cuff or strapped over a jacket sleeve on a trail, it’s the ultimate GADA (Go Anywhere, Do Anything) piece.
Persons of Interest
The Rolex Explorer has been spotted on the wrists of adventure icons like Ed Viesturs and Steve McQueen’s son, Chad — proving it’s equally at home in the wild and under the spotlight.
