The Rolex Explorer II ref. 16570, known as the "Polar" due to its signature white dial, is one of the most sought-after sports watches from the brand. This particular piece, produced in the year 2000 with an A serial, is in excellent condition and comes with its full original set, including box and guarantee. Powered by the automatic calibre 3185, it features a GMT function with an independent orange hand, perfect for travelers. The 40 mm stainless steel case is matched with the iconic Oyster bracelet, symbolizing both durability and elegance. The white dial provides striking contrast with black hour markers and Mercedes hands, ensuring optimal legibility. A modern icon with a timeless explorer spirit.
Case: the Explorer II 16570 features a classic 40 mm round case in stainless steel, equipped with a screw-down case back and Twinlock crown for enhanced water resistance and robustness. The fixed steel bezel is engraved with a 24-hour scale, enabling the tracking of a second time zone with the independent GMT hand. Its durable construction makes it suitable for demanding environments, in line with the tool-watch philosophy of Rolex.
Dial: nicknamed "Polar" for its crisp matte white finish, the dial is one of the most iconic elements of this reference. It is fitted with applied black hour markers outlined in white gold, and matching black Mercedes hands filled with luminous material for excellent readability. The orange 24-hour hand stands out, serving both aesthetic and functional purposes. The date display at 3 o’clock is magnified by a Cyclops lens for legibility.
Movement: powered by the Rolex caliber 3185, this automatic movement was introduced in the late 1980s and is known for its robustness and reliability. It features an independently adjustable 24-hour hand, hacking seconds, and a power reserve of approximately 50 hours. The 3185 was phased out in favor of the 3186 around 2006, making this movement specific to earlier Explorer II models like the A-serial 16570.
