    The Rolex Explorer II 226570 is one of the most distinctive models within the Rolex Professional collection, combining a crisp white “Polar” dial with excellent legibility and a rugged Oystersteel construction. The 42mm case is paired with a fixed 24-hour graduated bezel and the signature orange arrow-tipped 24-hour hand, allowing the wearer to distinguish between day and night or track a second time zone. Inside is Rolex’s automatic calibre 3285, delivering approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The independently adjustable local hour hand makes the Explorer II particularly practical for frequent travellers, while the Oyster bracelet provides a secure and comfortable fit. This 2026 example represents the current-generation Explorer II and offers a superb combination of sportiness, functionality and unmistakable Rolex styling. All of our watches are carefully inspected prior to sale and supplied with our 12-month mechanical warranty and authenticity guarantee.
