The third generation model of the Rolex sports model "Explorer", "Ref.1016". Various specification changes have been made to this model over the long production period. This product is an individual with a matte black dial called "Mark 3 Dial (early model)", and is a very rare one among "Ref.1016" with a short production period and few individuals. A well-balanced crown mark with a gothic font with serifs is used, and it is characterized by cream-colored burnt tritium luminous material. The hands show some signs of aging, but the dial itself shows no noticeable deterioration and is in good overall condition. The exterior, including the bezel, has small scratches and a slightly polished feel, but is not excessively thin or rounded, and there is no major damage that would spoil the look. The strap is fitted with a genuine Rolex hard bracelet that is heavy and comfortable to wear.
