Rolex Explorer II 226570

Rolex built the Explorer II in 1971 for cave explorers who lose track of day and night, and the 226570 keeps that job exactly. A fixed 24-hour steel bezel rings a glossy black dial, and the bright orange 24-hour hand sweeps against it to mark morning from night, or a second time zone on the road. The 42mm steel case wears with real presence, Mercedes hands and Chromalight markers built for legibility in the dark. Dated November 2025, a full set with box and papers.
