More on the Explorer II
Pre-Owned Unworn 42mm Rolex Explorer II (226570)
The Rolex Explorer II was first introduced in 1971 as a tool watch designed for cave explorers and adventurers who needed a timepiece that could withstand extreme conditions. The initial model, the Ref. 1655, featured a 24-hour bezel and an orange 24-hour hand, which made it easier to distinguish between day and night in environments where sunlight is scarce. Since then, the Explorer II has undergone several updates and improvements, including the addition of a new movement, a larger case size, and a more refined design. Today, it remains one of Rolex’s most iconic and sought-after models, known for its durability, accuracy, and distinctive style. This latest reference Explorer II is unworn and comes complete with box and papers.
What the case gives you
The case on this Explorer II is stainless steel and measures 42mm — steel takes knocks and refinishes cleanly. White on the dial, sapphire over it, and sapphire keeps the dial looking new from the front. Around the dial, a fixed bezel — nothing on the bezel moves. The crown on the Rolex Explorer II seals by screwing down rather than pushing in.
Fit and feel
On the wrist the 42mm Explorer II sits on a stainless steel Oyster bracelet — three broad links, and the most wearable of the bracelets. The 42mm diameter matters here: this is contemporary sizing, and the most common in this catalog. Who is it for? Anyone who keeps a second time zone in their head, whether that is travel or a working day that spans two countries.
How it runs
Power for the Explorer II comes from an automatic movement — leave it a few days and it will want a shake. Beyond the time, ref. 226570 gives you a date, the complication people actually use and a second zone, read independently of the first.
