Explorer II "Polar"

Rolex Explorer II “Polar Ref. 216570 | 42mm | 2012 Built for exploration, the Rolex Explorer II 216570 represents a defining chapter in the evolution of Rolex's legendary tool watch. Introduced in 2011 to commemorate the Explorer II's 40th anniversary, this generation brought a larger 42mm Oystersteel case and the return of the iconic orange 24-hour hand. The striking Polar white dial, framed by bold black hour markers and Chromalight luminescence, offers exceptional legibility. Its fixed 24-hour bezel and independently adjustable hour hand allow the wearer to distinguish day from night or track a second time zone.
