All new Rolex watches purchased from one of the brand’s Official Jewelers come with a five-year international guarantee. When you buy a Rolex, the Official Jeweler fills out and dates the Rolex guarantee card that certifies your watch’s authenticity. The five-year guarantee which applies to all Rolex models is coupled with the green seal, a symbol of its status as a Superlative Chronometer. This exclusive designation attests that the watch has successfully undergone a series of specific final controls by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria, in addition to the official COSC certification of its movement. Every Rolex is delivered in a beautiful green presentation box that is both protector and keeper of the jewel that nests inside it. As the presentation box is also a symbol of giving, it is important, if you are purchasing a gift, that the recipient’s first contact with their Rolex sets the stage for revealing what lies within. **Reference** 224270 **Model case** Oyster, 40 mm, Oystersteel **Bezel** Smooth **Water-resistance** Waterproof to 100 metres / 330 feet **Movement** Perpetual, mechanical, self-winding **Calibre** 3230, Manufacture Rolex **Power reserve** Approximately 70 hours **Bracelet** Oyster, three-piece solid links **Dial** Black **Certification** Superlative Chronometer (official chronometer certification + Rolex certification after casing) **Reference** 224270 **Model case** Oyster, 40 mm, Oystersteel **Bezel** Smooth **Water-resistance** Waterproof to 100 metres / 330 feet **Movement** Perpetual, mechanical, self-winding **Calibre** 3230, Manufacture Rolex **Power reserve** Approximately 70 hours **Bracelet** Oyster, three-piece solid links **Dial** Black **Certification** Superlative Chronometer (official chronometer certification + Rolex certification after casing) --- [Download brochure](https://assets.rolex.com/api/brochure/en-us/explorer/m224270-0001.pdf "Rolex Explorer Brochure") ## Black dial The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. The Explorer model’s characteristic 3, 6 and 9 numerals are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting blue glow, like the hour markers and hands. Like all Rolex timepieces, the Explorer 40's dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection. ![Rolex Explorer 40 in Oystersteel with a black dial, smooth bezel, and Oyster bracelet, m224270-0001 - Gandelman](https://www.gandelman.net/rolex/images/model-features/m224270-0001_dial.webp "Rolex Explorer 40 in Oystersteel with a black dial, smooth bezel, and Oyster bracelet, m224270-0001 - Gandelman") ## Smooth Bezel The Oyster Perpetual Explorer 40 imparts a fresh elan to the sober, clean lines that have long established it as an icon. The smooth bezel in Oystersteel is robust yet elegant, and in perfect harmony with the Explorer’s iconic heritage. ![Rolex Explorer 40 in Oystersteel with a black dial, smooth bezel, and Oyster bracelet, m224270-0001 - Gandelman](https://www.gandelman.net/rolex/images/model-features/m224270-0001_bezel.webp "Rolex Explorer 40 in Oystersteel with a black dial, smooth bezel, and Oyster bracelet, m224270-0001 - Gandelman") ## Oystersteel Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments. ![Rolex Explorer 40 in Oystersteel with a black dial, smooth bezel, and Oyster bracelet, m224270-0001 - Gandelman](https://www.gandelman.net/rolex/images/model-features/m224270-0001_material.webp "Rolex Explorer 40 in Oystersteel with a black dial, smooth bezel, and Oyster bracelet, m224270-0001 - Gandelman") ![Rolex watches at Gandelman - Aruba](https://www.gandelman.net/rolex/images/rolex-2024/crown-gold.png "Rolex watches at Gandelman - Aruba")### Model availability All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the utmost care to ensure exceptional quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production capacity and, at times, the demand for Rolex watches outpaces this capacity. Therefore, the availability of certain models may be limited. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official Rolex Jewelers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation and sales of watches to customers. Gandelman is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Jewelers and can provide information on the availability of Rolex watches.
