Rolex Explorer Ref 1016

The Rolex Explorer 1016, yeah, it’s one of those legends that just quietly commands respect—originally launched in 1960 and running strong until 1989, it really set the bar for field watches. Built tough for true adventure, it kept things simple yet iconic, right down to that unmistakable 3-6-9 dial layout. Here at Tropical Watch, we're always on the lookout for those perfectly aged, beautifully worn examples that tell real stories and spark serious watch envy.
