2017 Rolex Explorer II 42MM Black Dial Oyster Bracelet (216570)
The Rolex Explorer II 216570 is a rugged and highly functional timepiece designed for adventurers, explorers, and world travelers. With its robust 42mm Oystersteel case, this model offers a commanding wrist presence while maintaining Rolex’s signature elegance and durability.
The black dial is enhanced by highly legible Chromalight luminescent hour markers and Rolex’s signature Mercedes hands, ensuring exceptional readability in low-light conditions. A standout feature is the bright orange 24-hour hand, which, paired with the fixed 24-hour graduated bezel, allows wearers to distinguish between day and night in challenging environments like caves or polar expeditions. The additional GMT function enables tracking of a second time zone—ideal for global travelers.
At its heart, the Explorer II 216570 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3187, a self-winding automatic movement with Paraflex shock absorbers and a blue Parachrom hairspring, ensuring remarkable precision and resistance to shocks and temperature variations. With a 48-hour power reserve, this movement is built for reliability and endurance.
This model is fitted with Rolex’s iconic Oyster bracelet, crafted from solid 904L stainless steel, featuring the Oysterlock folding safety clasp and the Easylink extension system for a comfortable and secure fit.
With a water resistance of 100 meters (330 feet), the Rolex Explorer II 216570 is engineered to handle extreme conditions while maintaining classic Rolex refinement. A true tool watch with a heritage rooted in exploration, this timepiece is the perfect companion for those who push boundaries, both in adventure and in life.
