Reference 226570 | 2022
The Rolex Explorer II (Ref. 226570) is one of the most capable adventure watches in the Rolex Professional collection. Originally introduced in 1971, the Explorer II was designed for explorers, cave researchers and adventurers operating in environments where distinguishing between day and night can be difficult. Furthermore, it remains one of Rolex’s most practical tool watches.
This 2022 example features the highly desirable Polar white dial. Meanwhile, the black-outlined hands and hour markers create exceptional contrast and legibility. As a result, the dial has become one of the most recognisable designs in the modern Rolex catalogue.
Its 42mm Oystersteel case provides strong wrist presence without sacrificing comfort. In addition, the fixed 24-hour bezel works alongside the distinctive orange GMT hand. Consequently, the watch allows the wearer to track a second time zone while maintaining excellent readability.
Powering the watch is Rolex’s Calibre 3285 automatic movement. Notably, the movement offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve. Furthermore, it features Rolex’s Chronergy escapement and Superlative Chronometer certification. Therefore, it delivers outstanding precision and reliability in everyday use.
In addition, the Explorer II offers 100 metres of water resistance and the durability expected of a Rolex Professional model. The Oyster bracelet provides excellent comfort and security on the wrist. Moreover, the Easylink extension system allows quick adjustments throughout the day.
This 2022 Rolex Explorer II comes complete with box and papers and remains in excellent condition. Reference 226570 refines the formula that has made the Explorer II a favourite among enthusiasts. It is an outstanding choice for collectors seeking a versatile Rolex sports watch with genuine expedition heritage.
