Explorer II “Polar” – Ref. 16570

Distinctive. Understated. Built for exploration.

‍

The Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570, affectionately known as the “Polar” in its white-dial configuration, offers a distinctive take on the classic Rolex sports watch. Its crisp white dial, black outlined hour markers and red 24-hour hand create a striking contrast, delivering excellent legibility and unmistakable character.

‍

The fixed stainless steel 24-hour bezel gives the Explorer II its purposeful appearance, reflecting the model’s origins as a watch designed for environments where distinguishing day from night can be difficult. Paired with an independently adjustable local hour hand, the 24-hour display also allows the wearer to track a second time zone.

‍

With its 40mm stainless steel case and Oyster bracelet, the reference 16570 offers balanced proportions and a restrained presence on the wrist. Its combination of practical functionality and clean design makes it an appealing choice for everyday wear, travel or a growing Rolex collection.

‍

Powered by the Rolex Calibre 3185, this Explorer II features an automatic movement with an approximate 48-hour power reserve. It combines the character of a five-digit Rolex reference with the convenience of a date display and dual-time functionality.

This 1999-dated example is presented in good pre-owned condition and comes complete with box and papers. A 12-month Source Rare warranty is included for added peace of mind.
