Replica Explorer I Blue Dial
A New Face for a Timeless Explorer
Since 1953, the Rolex Explorer has symbolized courage, clarity, and endurance — a companion for mountaineers, adventurers, and thinkers alike. But in the 2024 VS Factory Blue Dial Edition, the Explorer evolves.
The new sunburst blue dial reinterprets the original black tool-watch aesthetic into something more refined — still purposeful, but with a touch of modern sophistication.
Under direct light, the dial glows between midnight and ocean tones, revealing depth and texture that shift like moving skies over Everest.
It’s a watch for those who explore not only mountains, but also modern life — balancing resilience with elegance.
Design with Heritage in Every Line
VS Factory preserved the 40mm classic Explorer case — a perfect symmetry between utility and style.
The iconic 3-6-9 Arabic numerals, polished white gold markers, and Mercedes hands remain faithful to the original, but the blue dial brings a quiet individuality that stands apart from the crowd.
The Oyster case, crafted from solid 904L stainless steel, is machined to mirror perfection using multi-axis CNC lathes.
Every edge, every brushed surface follows the same curvature and reflection pattern as the genuine 124270 reference.
This is not imitation — it’s recreation.
