Rolex Explorer II 42mm Black Dial - Ref. 226570

Why we love this watch

The Rolex Explorer II reference 226570 is a tool watch developed for demanding environments, from deep cave systems to polar expeditions. This example presents in unworn condition and comes as a complete set with original box and papers. The 42mm Oystersteel case offers robust water resistance to 100 metres and houses Rolex Calibre 3285, a movement delivering 70 hours of power reserve alongside a dedicated 24-hour hand. That hand works in concert with the fixed 24-hour graduated bezel to allow the wearer to distinguish day from night at a glance — a practical feature with genuine utility for anyone operating across irregular light cycles. The black dial is configured with Chromalight-filled hour markers and the characteristic Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9. A date window sits at 3 o'clock. The watch is fitted to Rolex's Oyster bracelet in Oystersteel, complete with the Easylink comfort extension system for fine adjustment. Offered in unworn condition via SASO in partnership with an authorised Australian luxury-watch retailer. Full set including box and papers.
