Explorer II – Ref. 226570 (White Dial)
Adventurous. Iconic. Built for extremes.
The Rolex Explorer II Ref. 226570 continues the legacy of one of Rolex’s most purpose-driven tool watches. This modern reference features a 42 mm Oystersteel case, a crisp white “Polar” dial, and the unmistakable orange 24-hour hand — a nod to the original 1971 model designed for cave and polar explorers.
Powered by the Rolex Calibre 3285, this model offers dual time zone functionality, a 70-hour power reserve, and COSC-certified accuracy — all housed in a rugged Oyster case with a fixed 24-hour bezel.
This 2024 example is pre-owned, in very good condition with light signs of wear, and comes with its original box and papers. A reliable, versatile sports Rolex ready for everyday adventure.
