Rolex uses a cam and flat spring. When the cam reaches midnight, the spring is released and snaps the wheel to the next day instantly, as your Explorer is doing.
The mechanism works with each 24 hour turn of the entire movement. The hands you see are a visual representation of time but are not physically attached to the date wheel. When a movement is assembled, the hands are the last thing put on and will be a few minutes either side of when the cam slaps the date spring.

Is this the same for Tudor watches? My Peli changes at around 12:25, dont really bother me but would it be worth getting it looked at?
