The Explorer history dates back to the references 6098 and 6150 in 1952, followed by the 6610 three years later. The reference 1016 arrived in 1959, the following were the ref. 14 270 the 114 270 and then the reference 214 270 presently offered. The most significant change is the increasing the size from 36 mm to 39 mm and in the lugs, both in their shape and their span. The newer reference brings a slight curvature to their termination, as well as a more even brush pattern that matches the end link of the bracelet, unlike the older model. More importantly, the distance between the lugs has been upgraded from 19 mm to 20 mm. Offered full set with also its original tag, this stainless steel wristwatch is sold in great condition. The DNA of the history of the model is undeniably present, but is a bit reinterpreted with a more modern twist, noticeable especially in the dial design, with its black configuration, big baton indexes and Arabic numerals.
