Detailed Features & Upgrades
-
Classic “3-6-9” Luminous Dial: The dial is a masterclass in functional minimalism. The deep matte black surface is designed to eliminate glare. It features the iconic applied 3, 6, and 9 numerals alongside baton markers—all filled with premium Chromalight for a powerful, long-lasting blue glow. Combined with the signature “Mercedes” handset, it provides 10/10 legibility in any environment.
-
Perfect 36mm Heritage Proportions: The 36mm case is widely considered by purists as the “perfect” size for the Explorer. VSF has flawlessly replicated the refined, tapered lugs and slim case profile of the 124270 generation. It offers a vintage-inspired wearing experience with the substantial weight and feel of modern 904L steel.
-
Rugged Fully Brushed Oyster Bracelet: True to its mountaineering heritage, the solid 904L steel Oyster bracelet is fully satin-brushed to hide the marks of an active lifestyle. VSF has accurately replicated the 19mm lug width and significant taper of the modern 36mm bracelet, complete with the secure Oysterlock safety clasp and 5mm Easylink comfort extension.
-
Indestructible Smooth Bezel: The fixed, smooth domed bezel is highly polished, adding a touch of refined elegance to a rugged tool. It provides a clean, sweeping frame for the black dial and ensures the watch remains low-profile enough to slide effortlessly under a jacket or gear sleeve.
-
The Masterpiece VS3230 Movement: Beating inside is VSF’s custom VS3230 super clone. This is an authentic “No-Date” movement architecture, meaning there is no “phantom” date position when setting the time. It features the same 1:1 construction as the 3235, offering a true 72-hour power reserve and exceptional shock resistance.
