Rolex Explorer II Polar, the white dial that turned a tool watch into a cult classic
Inside the Rolex lineup, the Explorer II is the straight-talking professional, a sports watch and true tool watch. The white dial Polar twist adds clarity and attitude without shouting. Expect a crisp white surface, black-outlined luminous markers, Mercedes hands, and a 24-hour display that partners with an orange GMT hand on select generations. A date display and an automatic movement certified as a chronometer keep it practical. If the GMT-Master courts airports and the Submariner courts waves, the Explorer II prefers the work, then the bar after.
The case is stainless steel, Rolex calls it Oystersteel, with brushed finishes and a fixed 24-hour bezel cut for legibility. Sapphire crystal protects the dial. The Oyster bracelet delivers solid links and quick comfort adjustment, the default choice, while some owners rotate rubber for off-duty wear. Across references, the Polar dial stays readable in harsh light, which is precisely the point.

Price reality. New examples, when available, often sit around €10.000 to €11.500. Pre-owned ranges from roughly €7.500 to €15.000, driven by condition, size, movement generation, Rolex authenticity, and whether you have box and papers or a recent Rolex warranty. As a collectible watch, the Polar has strong interest among collectors. It is Swiss made, cool under pressure, and holds Rolex value with quiet confidence.
