Big feature on the 'new' Rolex Explorer. They go on in depth about the first ascent of Everest and how Hillary and Tenzing both wore Rolex Explorers……….

I always thought that at least one of them wore a Smiths Everest.


The 1953 Hunt expedition to Everest was both sponsored by Smiths and Rolex in that they gave their watches to the members and apparently Edmund Hilary wore both a Smiths Deluxe and a Rolex white face Precision (the Explorer as a model didn't exist then)

The Rolex had to be sent back to Rolex for tests but the Smiths Deluxes were given to all the members of expedition to keep
