Up on the market at a small public sale home within the UK, this early Explorer comes with some strong navy provenance as properly. We love watches with tales right here at Hodinkee. In accordance with the catalog be aware, this 6610 was owned by Warrant Officer Navigator First Class Leonard Corridor of the Royal Air Power. Throughout his time with the RAF, stationed within the Center East, Leonard Corridor flew transport planes just like the Vickers Valetta, Hastings, and Dakota. The Rolex on the market right here was a present from the Sheikh of Oman – a thanks for being part of his transport crew. Included with the watch are Mr. Corridor’s flying log books, images, a letter from his son, the consignor to this public sale, and extra provenance objects backing up the story. Having an Explorer is cool, having an Explorer initially owned and worn by somebody who used the watch to just do that, discover, is even cooler.
