The Rolex Explorer II Ref. 216570 is built for adventure — and makes a serious statement on the wrist. With its larger 42mm stainless steel case, bright 24-hour orange GMT hand, and rugged tool-watch design, this model stands out as a modern classic in the Rolex sports lineup.
Introduced in 2011 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Explorer II, the 216570 is powered by the robust Caliber 3187 movement and features a fixed 24-hour bezel for tracking a second time zone. It’s available in both black and polar white dial versions, each with strong legibility and a distinctive look.
Whether you're crossing time zones or just want a Rolex that flies under the radar (while still being unmistakably bold), the 216570 is a top-tier choice.
