The Rolex Explorer II is a purpose-built adventure watch, developed for explorers operating in the world's most extreme environments. Originally introduced in 1971 for cave explorers, mountaineers and polar expeditions, the collection has become renowned for its rugged reliability and exceptional legibility. This reference 226570 is crafted from corrosion-resistant Oystersteel and features a crisp black dial with Chromalight hour markers and Mercedes hands for outstanding visibility in all lighting conditions. The signature fixed 24-hour bezel and vibrant orange GMT hand allow the wearer to distinguish day from night or track a second time zone, making it the perfect companion for both international travel and outdoor adventure. Water resistant to 100 metres and fitted with the robust Oyster bracelet featuring Rolex's Easylink comfort extension system, it is engineered for uncompromising performance.
Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3285 automatic movement, a COSC-certified Superlative Chronometer incorporating Rolex's advanced Chronergy escapement for exceptional precision and efficiency. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with an impressive 70-hour power reserve, the movement delivers outstanding reliability while independently adjusting the local hour hand, making it ideal for frequent travellers.
Presented in immaculate condition, this 2022 example is supplied boxed and complete with its original full set of Rolex paperwork, the balance of the Rolex Manufacturer Warranty until 2027 and a 12-Month WLC Warranty. Combining legendary durability, innovative functionality and timeless design, the Explorer II 226570 remains one of Rolex's most capable and versatile professional watches.
