K+ With its 36mm case, “3-6-9” satin black dial and rugged stainless steel case, the Smiths Everest is a dead-ringer for the Rolex Explorer 1016 – an iconic model produced from the 1960s . The Smiths Everest is in fact made by Timefactors (ref PRS-25), and in name pays homage to the Smiths De Luxe that made the journey with Hillary and Tenzing, but looks like the Rolex Explorer that did too.
In 1953, the not-yet-Sir Edmund Hillary became the first man to summit Mount Everest along with expedition partner Tenzing Norgay. And he did so with a Rolex on his wrist, an Oyster Perpetual that would prove to be the ancestor of the Explorer.
Most people claim he wore a Rolex—the forerunner to what would eventually become the Rolex Explorer. But others, including a now-defunct English watchmaker called Smiths, have a different story. What we do know, however, is that Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was wearing a Rolex at the summit. You can buy a vintage Smiths Everest, which most certainly wasn’t a knock-off Rolex, for a few thousand dollars. Had this expedition reached the summit, Rolex would likely have an indisputable claim to making the first watch worn at the top of Mount Everest. The successful expedition that followed, however, leaves a bit of room for doubt.

When viewed from a 90-degree angle, the Smith Everest’s dial is virtually identical to the Rolex Explorer 1. It has a minimalist aesthetic, designed to make it easy to tell the time at a glance. The background is a flat black, with no subdials, windows, or other complications. Going along with the classic Explorer style, the Everest features 3-6-9 indices and an upside-down triangle at 6 oclock. The original Smiths logo is present, with a small crown and "De Luxe", and at 6 oclock one can see "Everest" written in dark gray which plays with the light. Rolex also ensured that Hillary and much of the team were gifted watches in Calcutta, on their return journey from Everest. There are at least two Rolexes floating around in museums, both with the claim that Sir Edmund Hillary wore them.
