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

The Rolex Explorer II Ref. 226570 stands as a tool watch engineered for adventurers who navigate the world’s most demanding environments. Crafted from highly durable Oystersteel, the 42mm case offers exceptional corrosion resistance and maintains a flawless sheen even under extreme conditions. Its white “Polar” dial enhances visibility with stark contrast, a signature aesthetic cherished by explorers and collectors alike.

Rolex’s Chromalight display elevates legibility further, offering long-lasting blue luminescence for impeccable readability in darkness, caves, or polar nights. The bold orange arrow-shaped 24-hour hand—paired with the fixed, engraved 24-hour bezel—allows tracking of a second time zone or distinguishing day from night, a crucial feature for extended expeditions.

Anchored by the solid Oyster bracelet, the watch delivers robust comfort, stability, and reliability. Purpose-built, meticulously finished, and unmistakably functional, the Explorer II remains one of Rolex’s purest expressions of exploration-driven engineering.
