The Rolex 226570 Explorer II Oystersteel Black Dial, represents the latest evolution of an iconic tool watch lineage celebrated for adventure and exploration. Released in 2021 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Explorer II line, the 226570 features a robust 42mm Oystersteel case and a high-contrast, highly legible black dial with Chromalight hands and markers for maximum low-light visibility.
