The Rolex Explorer II 226570 is the modern expression of Rolex’s true adventure watch, engineered for those who venture into the most extreme environments. Originally introduced in 1971 for speleologists and polar explorers, the Explorer II remains the ultimate tool for navigating where daylight and darkness blur.
This 2024 reference 226570 features the striking 42mm Oystersteel case with a crisp white “Polar” dial. Its bold black hour markers, oversized hands, and iconic orange 24-hour GMT hand deliver maximum legibility in all conditions. The fixed steel bezel with engraved 24-hour scale allows simultaneous tracking of a second time zone, making it as practical for global travelers as it is for adventurers.
Powered by the Rolex Calibre 3285 automatic movement, this watch benefits from Rolex’s latest-generation Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring, and an impressive 70-hour power reserve. The rugged Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock clasp ensures comfort and security, while 100m water resistance underlines its professional tool-watch status.
