A Discussion around the "Explorer Styled" Watch, particularly watches that favour simplicity over complexity and use arabic numerals at the quarter plots of their dials. Not everyone can afford a Rolex but this look has advanced so far over the years that you can find a design like it at virtually every price point. What amazes me is that no matter the watch, these quarter arabics add a solid foundation to the dial that immediately set the model apart from the rest of the pack.
