Description
Rolex Explorer II ref. 1655, known as the “Freccione” and “Steve McQueen,” is the first generation of the Explorer II, introduced in 1971. Its signature feature is a large orange 24-hour hand, which works with a fixed steel bezel featuring a 24-hour scale. The 40-millimeter case and black MK4 dial create one of the most distinctive Rolex sports watch designs of the 1970s. The 24-hour hand was designed to help distinguish day from night while exploring caves.
Explorer II 1655: Condition and Finish
The case, case back, and steel bracelet show minor scratches typical of a vintage watch that has been worn. The black MK4 dial features the Freccione’s orange hand and a dense minute track that differs from later Explorer II models. The contrast between orange, black, and brushed steel remains the most striking element of this design.
Movement and Set
The model is powered by the Rolex 1575 GMT automatic caliber, which includes an additional 24-hour display. In this generation, the orange hand is not used to set a second time zone independently.
Included: RARIST Approved NFC card with a two-year movement warranty and an included TheWatchRegister certificate.
