"Poor Man's Rolex Explorer"
Swiss made manual wind movement from the 70's with a beautifully textured black honeycomb dial, spotless Dauphine hands, and the telltale sign of a true vintage watch - the doomed acrylic crystal. What we really like about this watch though, is the absence of a date complication, which results in a perfectly balanced dial.
The 36 mm case size and distinct Arabic numerals at 3,6,9 and 12 o'clock makes this watch a budget friendlier (to say the least) alternative to the Rolex Explorer.
Fitted on a black leather strap, this one flies under the radar - an instant favourite for everyday wear.
