Explorer 1016

The Rolex Explorer 1016 is one of those watches that, honestly, just stops you mid-scroll, right, because it’s such an icon, built tough for real-world adventures when it launched back in 1960. Known for its clean 36mm size, the perfect dial proportions, and wait—the history tied to actual explorers? It’s just wild. At Tropical Watch, we obsess over sourcing these legendary pieces with the kind of care that, frankly, true collectors will appreciate.
