Why we love this watch
Why we love this watch
The Rolex Explorer II 16570 has always been a favourite of ours. Introduced in 1989, it quickly became a must-have for anyone who loves adventure. Its long production run, from 1989 to 2011, means there are plenty of variations for collectors. Its popularity and historical significance make it a highly desirable piece.
We think the Explorer II 16570 perfectly balances form and function, making it great for both outdoor adventures and city life. The 40mm stainless steel case is sleek and robust, easily fitting under shirt cuffs.
The GMT function is another standout feature for the traveller. The additional 24-hour hand tracks a second time zone effortlessly. This is especially useful when travelling across different time zones or need to coordinate with people in other parts of the world.
At its heart, this Explorer II 16570 has the reliable Rolex Caliber 3185 (and later models had the Caliber 3186). The Rolex Caliber 3185 is a robust automatic movement known for its reliability and precision, featuring a 24-hour GMT hand, quickset date function, and approximately 50 hours of power reserve. It was used in several Rolex models, including the Explorer II and GMT-Master II, from the late 1980s to the mid-2000s
Built to withstand the rigors of exploration, the Explorer II 16570 is designed with durability in mind. The stainless steel Oyster case is resistant to corrosion and scratches, and it's water-resistant up to 100 meters. The Oyster bracelet provides a secure and comfortable fit, ensuring the watch stays in place during any adventure.
Beyond its practical features, the Explorer II 16570 has a timeless appeal. Its clean lines, understated elegance, and iconic design make it a versatile timepiece that can be worn for any occasion. Whether paired with casual attire or formal wear, it adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
