Introduced in 2021 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Explorer II line, this model is an update to its predecessor, the Ref. 216570. The 226570 retains the iconic 42mm Oystersteel case and distinctive fixed 24-hour bezel, but introduces the upgraded Caliber 3285 movement, offering improved accuracy, a 70-hour power reserve, and enhanced resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. One of the key complications of the Explorer II is its independently adjustable GMT hand, designed for spelunkers, polar explorers, and travelers who need to distinguish day from night or track a second time zone. The striking white dial — nicknamed the “Polar” — features high-contrast black hour markers and hands filled with Chromalight lume for maximum legibility in low-light conditions. Originally launched in 1971 with the Ref. 1655, the Explorer II has evolved into a staple of the Rolex Professional line, positioned as a rugged companion to the more refined GMT-Master II. The Ref. 226570 Polar continues to embody the spirit of exploration with modern updates, making it a standout for collectors and adventurers alike.
