The 114270 is the Explorer that nobody noticed changing. It replaced the 14270 around 2001, upgrading the movement from caliber 3000 to caliber 3130 — Parachrom hairspring, balance bridge, better shock and temperature resistance — and swapping folded end links for solid. Externally, it looks almost identical to the late 14270 Swiss Made. Hodinkee observed that “changes are made incrementally, and sometimes that means the only upgrades are hidden away behind a layer of steel.” That is the 114270 in one sentence. | The 114270 is the Explorer that nobody noticed changing.
