Rolex Explorer II Black Dial — Ref. 226570
The Rolex Explorer II Ref. 226570
continues a lineage built for endurance, legibility, and extreme environments. Originally introduced in 1971 for cave explorers, mountaineers, and expedition professionals, the Explorer II was designed to distinguish day from night in places where natural light disappears.
Why choose this model?
True exploration heritage
Unlike many modern sports watches, the Explorer II was created as a genuine expedition instrument. Its fixed 24-hour bezel and additional orange hand allow the wearer to distinguish day from night — an essential feature for environments with limited natural light.
Black dial with exceptional legibility
The matte black dial maximizes contrast against the Chromalight display, ensuring immediate readability in all conditions. Oversized luminous markers and the bright orange GMT hand reinforce the watch’s utilitarian identity.
42 mm Oystersteel case
The Oystersteel case delivers durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining balanced ergonomics on the wrist. Brushed surfaces emphasize the Explorer II’s technical character and understated appearance.
Calibre 3285 performance
Powered by Rolex’s in-house Calibre 3285, the watch features the Chronergy escapement and approximately 70 hours of power reserve. Independent local-hour adjustment and dual-time functionality make it especially practical for travel and daily use.
Collector’s appeal and positioning
The black dial Explorer II remains one of Rolex’s most understated professional references. Less overt than GMT-Master or Submariner models, it appeals to collectors who appreciate functionality, proportion, and authentic tool-watch heritage.
The Ref. 226570
modernizes the Explorer II while preserving key historical design cues, including the orange 24-hour hand inspired by the original reference 1655.
