I would love to find some (any) information regarding what I’ve seen termed “Pre-Explorer” watches. Those watches that Rolex might have experimented with or purposed for adventure or exploration (or even military) use prior to 1953 and Everest. For instance, how far in advance of 1953 did Rolex experiment with or even envision its watches going to extreme climates and/or mountain-tops? And how? Did they begin with model 5028? Bubble backs? Did they include anything special in their movements? Thanks in advance for any information.
