The Rolex Explorer II Reference 226570 with a black dial is a 42mm Oystersteel GMT watch released in 2021. It was introduced on the 50th anniversary of the Explorer II, replacing the previous reference 216570. Originally designed for speleologists, the Rolex Explorer II was made for adventurers who operate in environments where telling day from night is difficult, such as in caves or polar regions. The 24-hour hand and bezel serve as an invaluable tool for these explorers. When not being used for adventure, the Rolex Explorer II still offers a Professional and Sporty style backed by the reliability of Rolex Manufacture and Craftmanship, making it an excellent model to own – be it for harsh environments or everyday life.
