Rolex Explorer II Ref. 226570 – Purpose-Built for the Adventurer Within

Rugged, legible, and unmistakably Rolex, the Explorer II Ref. 226570 continues a legacy born in the most challenging environments on earth. Originally designed in the 1970s for spelunkers, cave explorers, and polar researchers, this modern iteration blends utilitarian function with refined Rolex craftsmanship. With its clean white “Polar” dial, fixed 24-hour bezel, and oversized orange GMT hand, the 226570 is as visually striking as it is tool-ready.

The 42mm Oystersteel case offers a commanding wrist presence while maintaining exceptional comfort thanks to its contoured lugs and balanced proportions. The fixed bezel is engraved with bold 24-hour numerals, used in tandem with the vivid orange GMT hand to track a second time zone—an invaluable feature for travelers, explorers, and professionals working in constant-light or dark conditions. The crisp white lacquered dial offers maximum contrast against the black hour markers and hands, all filled with long-lasting Chromalight lume for round-the-clock visibility.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3285, a Superlative Chronometer automatic movement featuring the brand's patented Chronergy escapement and a robust 70-hour power reserve. Highly resistant to shocks and magnetic fields, the 3285 offers exceptional accuracy and reliability—backed by Rolex's exacting performance standards. The independent hour hand allows for true local time adjustment, making this watch as functionally versatile as it is iconic.

The solid-link Oyster bracelet features the trusted Oysterlock clasp and Easylink 5mm extension system for fast adjustments in any conditions. Waterproof to 100 meters, this is a watch made for real-world adventure, whether you're navigating ice caves or the modern urban sprawl.

A cult favorite among collectors and a professional's choice for over four decades, the Rolex Explorer II Ref. 226570 with Polar dial is a no-nonsense instrument watch with timeless appeal—and an unwavering sense of purpose.
