The Rolex Explorer was launched in 1953 in honour of the first successful ascent of Mount Everest by an expedition equipped with Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches. Pictured here are Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the first men to summit Mount Everest in 1953.
THE Hour Glass and Rolex is staging an exhibition featuring the Explorer and Explorer II watches that evolved from Rolex’s involvement in some of the greatest adventures in exploration of the past century.
The exhibition, “A Watch Born to Explore”, will be held for the first time in Malaysia exclusively at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur centre court from Feb 14 to 23.
