Launched in 1971, the Rolex Explorer II was built for reliability in challenging environments. Its fixed 24-hour bezel and distinctive orange 24-hour hand make it easy to track day/night cycles or a second time zone at a glance.
Designed for adventurers, the watch embodies precision and endurance, trusted by explorers, spelunkers, and travellers alike. With its robust steel case, sapphire crystal, and unmistakable tool-watch aesthetic, pre-owned Rolex Explorer II models offer everyday versatility, timeless style, and genuince expedition heritage.
Whether navigating rugged terrain or urban settings, the Explorer II stands as a symbol of durability, function, and understated sophistication.
From classic to contemporary, the Explorer II has evolved while staying true to its purpose. Collectors often compare:
• 16570 (40mm): frequently seen with black or polar (white) dial.
• 216570 (42mm): bold dial, enlarged markers and hands.
• 226570 (42mm): latest generation with refined case and movement.
Whether you prefer the polar dial’s high contrast or the stealth look of black, our pre‑owned Rolex Explorer II selection covers popular references and dial options. If you can’t find the exact watch you want, ask us to source it.
