...This Explorer is a Ref 14270 with a serial number that dates it to about 1993. Keep in mind that this is a 36mm watch, but that works OK for me as I'm narrow-wristed.
....After wearing this watch for a couple of days, going back to a 42mm watch feels kind of weird because it looks absurdly large.
It's a surprisingly comfortable strap considering the complexity of its construction. I had the watch on a flat leather band before, and another surprise is how much presence the Hirsch band adds to a 36mm watch. The Hirsch promo literature describes the band as "sauna-proof" but I probably would not jump in a pool or the ocean with it.
