Rolex 216570 Explorer II SS White Dial

The Rolex 216570 Explorer II, widely lauded within the collecting community as the “Polar,” stands as a quintessential modern tool watch. Introduced in 2011 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Explorer II line, this reference elevated the series with a robust 42mm Oystersteel case, featuring a striking white dial with high-contrast black hour markers, an orange arrow-tipped 24-hour hand, and the famed "maxi dial" layout. The watch houses Rolex’s in-house caliber 3187 automatic movement, notable for its Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, enhancing both precision and durability under demanding conditions. With a practical GMT complication and fixed 24-hour bezel, it excels in tracking dual time zones, making it a staple for explorers and globetrotters alike. The signature Oyster bracelet ensures comfort and security on the wrist. Its imposing wrist presence, combined with its historical lineage dating to the original 1971 Explorer II, cements the 216570 as a highly desirable reference among connoisseurs. This model’s enduring popularity owes as much to its purposeful heritage as to its technical prowess, affirming its place as a modern icon in the realm of professional sports watches.
