The ref. 14270 was introduced in 1989 replacing the former ref. 1016 and remained in production until 2001. Compared to its predecessor, the model features a number of upgrades including the caliber 3000 movement. It also had a sapphire crystal, which was more durable and scratch proof than a plexi crystal. With many admirers of the model, the Explorer boasts simplicity yet remains elegant and functional.
