Rolex Explorer II

The Rolex Explorer II 226570 is a tool watch built for precision and clarity. This 2024 example features the striking white “Polar” dial, a 42mm Oystersteel case, and solid steel Oyster bracelet. It is in excellent condition and comes complete with full box and papers.

The case is made from corrosion‑resistant Oystersteel. At 42mm, it wears with presence while keeping a slim profile for comfort. The brushed lugs and polished case sides give balanced finishing. The screw‑down crown ensures water resistance to 100 metres.

The fixed bezel is solid steel with an engraved 24‑hour scale. It works with the bright orange GMT hand to track a second time zone or distinguish day from night — a feature designed for polar exploration and cave environments.

The dial is crisp matte white with large black‑edged hour markers. The bold Mercedes hands and orange GMT arrow stand out for perfect legibility. All hands and markers are filled with Chromalight lume, which glows bright blue in low light. The date sits at 3 o’clock under a Cyclops magnifier.

Inside is the Rolex Calibre 3285 automatic movement. It is COSC‑certified and tested to Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer standard of −2/+2 seconds per day. It offers a 70‑hour power reserve, a Chronergy escapement for efficiency, and a Parachrom hairspring for anti‑magnetic resistance.

The bracelet is the solid‑link Oyster design in brushed steel with polished sides. It secures with the Oysterlock clasp and features the Easylink extension for instant adjustment.

This watch is in excellent condition. The case and bracelet are sharp, the bezel crisp, and the crystal flawless. The movement has been tested and runs perfectly.

The Rolex Explorer II 226570 in white “Polar” is a robust, functional, and distinctive sports watch. With its bold dial, fixed 24‑hour bezel, and dual‑time capability, it is ready for adventure or everyday wear. This 2024 full set is complete, correct, and ready for its next owner.
