With a 40mm case, it is available in a variety of materials.

Oyster Perpetual
The Oyster Perpetual is the heart of the Rolex brand. One of the company's earliest creations, the Oyster Perpetual brings together two incredibly important technologies and laid the groundwork for all of the historic and modern Rolex watches. In all models, the watches just have three hands: hours, minutes and center seconds. It's wound using the Twinlock screw-down crown, is paired with the Oyster bracelet and Oysterclasp fastener, and has Chromalight for lume. This is what makes the Oyster Perpetual so wearable. The are more than 30 iterations of the Oyster Perpetual, with varying colors, bezels, and sizes. Until recently, it was available in 26-31-34 and 36 mm sizes. This made the Oyster Perpetual a vintage sized watch until 2015, when they launched a 39 mm size and then the 41 mm in 2020.

Explorer II
Rolex's dedicated adventure watch, the Explorer, traces its origins back to mountain climbing in 1953. In 1971, however, another watch joined the collection with the name Explorer II and a quite different set of features, looks, size and purpose. The original Explorer II was intended for plumbing the depths of caves. A 24-hour hand and bezel were meant to keep the likes of spelunkers or arctic explorers oriented when it might be easy to lose track of whether it's day or night. Unlike on the Rolex GMT-Master, the bezel was fixed (non-rotating) and the 24-hour hand couldn't be set separately from the main time. There have been different Explorer II iterations to date, but the Rolex Explorer II that is well known today was more or less established in 1985. The differences between the models have sometimes been subtle and other times significant, so here's a breakdown of how this iconic watch has evolved over the decades.

Explorer
A mainstay of the Rolex catalog since the early 1950s, the Explorer is both the brand's oldest sports watch still in production, along with being its most understated. As is the norm for long-running models from the brand's catalog, the Rolex Explorer has undergone some notable modifications over its almost seven-decade history while still retaining its fundamental design characteristics. The introduction of the 14270 in the late-1980s ushered in the modern era of the Explorer, succeeded by the 114270 at the start of the new millennium. 2010 marked a major shift for the Rolex Explorer as the newest model sported a noticeably larger 39mm case rather than the once-standard 36mm case diameter.
