Rolex Explorer II 226570 Polar White Dial 42mm
A modern update to the long enduring 16570, the Explorer II 226570 is quite a different piece aesthetically to its forebears. Now featuring a 42mm steel case with maxi dial, it's a proper tool watch with GMT capability for those that perhaps find the 40/41mm range a touch small for their tastes. The Explorer II also one of the more under-the-radar sports pieces, and always has been, which definitely has its own appeal for those wanting to enjoy their watch without the attention some of the other more recent models attract.
Featuring a 42mm Oystersteel case topped with a stunning sunburst 24-hour fixed bezel, it houses a maxi-dial with orange second timezone hand, and is powered by the calibre 3285. The '226' series also features quite a few differences to the earlier '216' series, with thinner lugs, a 22mm bracelet, matte finished hands, inner AR coating on the crystal, and the updated movement. They look similar, but are quite different.
This particular piece was first locally sold in 2022 and presents in TZ 'Good' condition. Has been worn regularly, and the case shows scratches and hairlines, with a few rub marks and small scratches present on the bezel. The reason for the 'Good' rather than 'Excellent' grading according to the TZ scale is due to the presence of some small nicks along the edges of the lugs, and one above the 22 on the edge of the bezel. All very small, but noted for full disclosure. Case back shows some rub marks and minor scratching. Please see images for full condition details.
Bracelet includes all links, and shows desk dive marks throughout.
No service history, far too new for that. Remains under Rolex warranty until 2027, and keeping COSC time.
Includes outer sleeve, outer box, inner box, instruction booklet, warranty card dated 2022, card holder, white hang tag, green hang tag and spare link to complete the bracelet.
