Below are two more detailed video clip previews from Netflix's all-new Our Planet Documentary:
Below is the original story I published on Sir David Attenborough.
...Rolex Super-Coolness...
Sir David Attenborough
An Amazing Rolex Explorer
Sir David Attenborough is one of the most famous naturalists in history and he is still going full-speed-ahead at age 92!!! As an amazing explorer, he has always reminded me of Jaques-Yves Cousteau. Sir David Attenborough has been a wildlife filmmaker his entire professional career, which has spanned seven decades. You probably know his famous voice from the recent film series titled "Planet Earth."
"The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may
never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?"
—David Attenborough
In the photo above, Sir David Attenborough is wearing what appears to be either a Rolex Submariner, GMT-Master, Turn-O-Graph, or possibly his Rolex Explorer seen below in this story. It looks bigger, like a Submariner or GMT, but I can't tell for sure. Of course, he is wearing it on a Rolex Oyster bracelet—that much is clear.
Update #1 (March 6, 2019): After spending a lot of time trying to figure out which model Rolex Sir David Attenborough is wearing in the photo above, my best guess is that he is wearing his Rolex Explorer which, due to the angle the photo was taken at, makes it look larger.
Update #2 (Match 7, 2019): My researcher from Hong Kong named Alan discovered and sent in the images below of David Attenborough from 1972, which offer a clue in the sense they were taken straight-on, so we see the scale of the watch better. Once again, my best guess is Sir David is wearing his Rolex Explorer.
An Amazing Voice
David Attenborough's second to most recent documentary series he narrated is named "Blue Planet II," and it is UNBELIEVABLY GREAT!!!! You can check out the trailer below. In the U.S. you can currently watch it on Netflix. Sir David's narrative style is typically very serious, without ever being pretentious which makes him the ultimate wildlife narrator.
"Continuation of
Civilization Is in
Your Hands!"
A Real Rolex Explorer
The next three images of Sir David Attenborough were taken from a TV series in 1963, and as we see he is wearing an early Rolex Explorer.
I have not been able to make a positive ID on the exact model Rolex Explorer he is wearing in the pictures above, but I believe it has a gilt dial, and likely would be a model like the one shown below.
In the BBC Video Adventure below from 1963 you can see Sir David Attenborough driving his Land Rover wearing his Rolex Explorer, as he travels through the Northern Australia outback!!!
In the next set of photos, taken on March 4, 1965, we see Sir David Attenborough wearing his Rolex Explorer on an unusual bracelet. These photos were taken when he was appointed Controller of BBC2.
Despite having the unusual bracelet, this photo confirms Sir David Attenborough is wearing a Rolex Explorer as it possesses all the tell-tale characteristics including the 3-, 6- and 9-hour markers surrounded by baton markers. You can also see the Mercedes hour hand and Rolex logo...
In the fascinating video below from the BBC Archives we see Sir David Attenborough being interviewed on a BBC show named Late Night Line-Up where he discusses stepping down as Controller for BBC-2 in order to return to making programs, and we see how charismatic, sharp, interesting and articulate he was at the time!!!

In this next photo, we see Prince Charles' son, Prince William with Sir David Attenborough at the World Economic Forum.
BBC Planet Earth Series
Amazing BBC Documentary Series
Sir David Attenborough is perhaps best known for his narration of the INCREDIBLE BBC series titled "Planet Earth." I included several episodes below for your viewing enjoyment. In my opinion the Planet Earth BBC series is perhaps the greatest wildlife/Earth documentary series in history.
In the United Kingdom, Sir David Attenborough is considered to be a national treasure, and he is pictured below with Queen Elizabeth.
In the video below we see Sir David Attenborough giving a speech with follow-up with the Queen's husband, The Duke Of Edinburgh.
