Rolex Explorer II Ref. 226570 42mm Oystersteel with Black Dial

The Rolex Explorer II Ref. 226570 is engineered for those who push boundaries, combining rugged capability with unmistakable Rolex refinement. Crafted from highly resilient Oystersteel, the 42mm case withstands the demands of extreme environments, from cavern exploration to polar expeditions. Its deep black dial enhances contrast, ensuring exceptional legibility whether under bright sunlight or in pitch-dark surroundings.

Rolex’s Chromalight display adds functional brilliance—its blue luminescence glows intensely for extended periods, delivering clarity at a glance in low-light scenarios. The signature orange arrow-shaped 24-hour hand pairs with the engraved 24-hour fixed bezel to allow dual-time tracking or day–night differentiation, a vital tool for those operating in regions where daylight is unpredictable.

The solid Oyster bracelet provides stable comfort and enduring robustness, while the smooth bezel preserves the clean, purposeful aesthetic of a true expedition companion. This Explorer II stands as a masterpiece of utility, precision, and understated adventure-driven design.
