【Description】

The Explorer, a model developed for explorers (explorers) who want to challenge unexplored places.

The Explorer I was introduced in 1953, and 3/6/9 was characterized by a very simple design with no Arabic numerals and date display.

The very famous vintage model, Ref.1016, went through a major design change to become a practical model, Ref.14270.

The windshield has been changed from plastic to sapphire crystal.

The dial design is now a deeper black, and the indices are trimmed with metal.

The big difference between this model and Ref.1016 is that the 369 is no longer coated with luminescent paint and has a white line inside.

The size of the case, 36mm, which is small for a sports model, is easy to match with any kind of clothing, and the dial design is simple enough to be used both on and off.

The thickness of the case is also thin and the weight is also very light at about 100g including the bracelet, so it is quite good for everyday use.

This Ref.14270 is a long-lived model that was manufactured from 1990 to 2001, and there are minor differences between the years.

This unit was manufactured around 1999 and the luminous paint on the dial and hands is Luminova, and the 6 o’clock position is SWISS MADE.

Also, the buckle part of the bracelet is a double lock.

The movement on board is Cal.3000. The power reserve is approximately 48 hours.

The Oyster bracelet has 13 links. There is not much stretch.

Comes with a domestic guarantee, manual, booklet, and chronometer tag.

About complete service and polishing

Our stance is that "customers can use good products with peace of mind for a long time."

In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.

How well the work is done depends largely on the thoughts of the craftsman.

The watchmakers who Arbitro asks are craftsmen who do not cut corners in such areas, so we ask them to carry out the repair work with peace of mind.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.

Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.

Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.

If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.

There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.

About Polishing

Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.

At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.

In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.

The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.

Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.

In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.

A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.

It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.

Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.

We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
