The Rolex Explorer II Ref. 226570 is a modern interpretation of Rolex's iconic expedition watch, combining a robust 42mm Oystersteel case with a highly legible white dial and distinctive orange 24-hour hand. Introduced as the successor to the previous Explorer II 216570, the 226570 retains the collection's signature tool-watch character while incorporating Rolex's latest generation of movement technology. This 2026 unworn example is supplied in pristine condition with its original Rolex presentation set and documentation.The watch is powered by Rolex Calibre 3285, an automatic movement developed specifically for the GMT functionality of the Explorer II. It provides approximately 70 hours of power reserve and is certified as a Superlative Chronometer. The fixed 24-hour graduated bezel works with the orange 24-hour hand to distinguish between day and night, while the white dial features highly legible black hour markers and Chromalight luminescence.
The watch is completed by an Oyster bracelet with an Oysterlock clasp and Easylink comfort extension, while the Oystersteel case and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal provide excellent durability for everyday wear.
The Rolex Explorer II 226570 combines Rolex's expedition heritage with contemporary engineering and unmistakable styling. Its white dial, orange GMT hand and brushed Oystersteel construction give it a distinctive appearance within the Rolex Professional collection, while its robust specifications make it equally suited to everyday wear. This 2026 unworn example offers collectors the opportunity to acquire one of Rolex's most recognisable modern sports watches in pristine condition.
