The Rolex Explorer I, less overpriced than mainstream sports models such as Daytona and Submariner, is the most popular in Japan. Why is it so popular among Japanese people? There are mainly the following reasons:
- Simple design, in line with Japanese aesthetics
Although the concept of “minimalism” first originated in Europe and the United States, Japan is the country that can best interpret and apply it. Japan is also the origin of the prevalent concept of “breaking away from the past” in today’s life. Following the subtraction principle, the Japanese prefer to “express beauty simply” when choosing fashion consumer goods.
The Rolex Explorer fits this concept. There are no fancy dial colors and pattern designs, and even the calendar is omitted, with only a simple three-hand watch.
The classic black dial has iconic 3, 6, and 9 numbers and hour marks. The Mercedes-Benz hands ensure uniqueness and are coated with robust and luminous paint, which is straightforward to read in any environment. Simple and low-key, every point accurately hits the needs of the Japanese.
- Practicality and attention to detail
Japan has scarce resources, and making the best use of these resources has become a long-standing habit. Because of the influence of this national cultural habit, the Japanese pay great attention to details in their daily lives, reduce waste as much as possible and make full use of resources.
Although most Japanese are willing to spend a lot of money on a high-quality product, using it to meet the needs of various scenarios will help them make a purchase decision.
As an entry-level professional Rolex model, Explorer I is a well-known “commuter king.” It is classic, comfortable, durable, not easy to hit the watch, waterproof, hard brand, accurate, and has a history. It can be easily controlled, whether it is formal wear or outdoor wear. It can be worn by both men and women, regardless of age. It is truly “once and for all.” No wonder the Japanese like it.

- Star effect
The most crucial reason Explorers can make a splash in Asia is the star effect brought by the godfather of fashion and the male god Kimura Takuya.
In the 1990s, Kimura Takuya wore it many times in the popular Japanese TV series “Love Generation” and “HERO 2.” It appeared on the screen and in popular magazines. Thus, the old Explorer I 14270 worn by Kimura Takuya became popular and became the dream watch of countless people. Replica Rolex watches.
