The Rolex Explorer (Reference 214270) is the absolute definition of a purist tool watch, but this specific custom configuration on an Oysterflex-style strap takes its “Go Anywhere” utility to a whole new level. Flawlessly executed by the master craftsmen at VS Factory (VSF), this 1:1 super clone replicates the “MKII” generation of the 39mm Explorer, featuring the highly desirable full-lume 3-6-9 dial. By pairing the robust 904L steel case with a high-performance black elastomer strap, the watch becomes a lightweight, shock-resistant masterpiece designed for the modern explorer. Powered by VSF’s industry-leading VS3230 automatic movement, it delivers a true 72-hour power reserve and uncompromising accuracy without the clutter of a date window.

Detailed Features & Upgrades
-
MKII “Full Lume” Dial: The dial is a masterclass in functional minimalism. This updated “MKII” version features applied 3, 6, and 9 numerals that are filled with premium Chromalight, providing a powerful blue glow alongside the baton markers and the signature “Mercedes” handset. The deep matte black surface eliminates glare, ensuring 10/10 legibility in any lighting condition.
-
Streamlined 39mm Case Geometry: For many collectors, the 39mm case is the perfect size for an active lifestyle. VSF has flawlessly replicated the satin-brushed lugs and polished case flanks. The lack of a metal bracelet allows the 904L steel case to take center stage, highlighting the refined, athletic silhouette of the Explorer’s modern geometry.
-
High-Performance Oysterflex-Style Strap: This custom setup provides an incredibly lightweight and breathable wearing experience. The matte black elastomer strap is designed to withstand extreme temperatures and environmental conditions, making it more robust than traditional rubber. It provides an aggressive, “stealth-wealth” aesthetic that transforms the Explorer from a classic tool to a modern tactical piece.
-
Indestructible Smooth Bezel: The fixed, smooth domed bezel is highly polished, adding a sharp, refined frame to the rugged matte dial. This creates a low-profile, aerodynamic look that prevents snagging on gear or jacket sleeves during expeditions.
-
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 pulling the crown. It features the same 1:1 construction as the 3235, offering a true 72-hour power reserve and exceptional shock resistance for true off-grid reliability.
