Rolex Explorer II

This Rolex Explorer II has the reference number 226570 and shines with a black dial. The case has a diameter of 42mm and is made of stainless steel. Also made of stainless steel is the Oyster strap. The Explorer II is equipped with the caliber 3285 and is a chronometer. In addition, there is the central second hand, a date display, a second time zone and a screw-down crown.

The watch also has a cyclops magnifier. The cyclops magnifier is one of the most distinctive and recognizable elements of the Rolex brand. Named after the one-eyed giant of Greek mythology, the Cyclops Magnifier magnifies the date window with exceptional legibility. Every component of a Rolex watch tells a story. A story of discovery, research, development and the constant pursuit of perfection.

The new caliber 3285 is a new generation of movements entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, with 10 patents, chronograph functions and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Like all Rolex perpetual motion movements, caliber 3285 is a Swiss certified chronometer. Only high-precision watches that have been tested by the COSC (Contrôle officiel suisse des chronomètres), an independent testing body, are allowed to carry this designation. The caliber 3285 is equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, which is more resistant to shocks and temperature fluctuations than conventional hairsprings. The movement's patented design guarantees the unparalleled reliability also found in all movements in the Oyster collection.
