Stainless Steel Rolex Explorer
In the spring of 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay climbed to the summit of Mount Everest, the highest point in the world, forever cementing their mark in history. Also part of the expedition, which was lead by Sir John Hunt, were crucial timekeeping instruments for the explorers – Rolex Oyster Perpetual chronometers. To commemorate such an epic feat and to celebrate adventurers all over he world, Rolex launched a watch later that year dubbed the Explorer .
