The brushed satin surfaces that define the Explorer II are crisp and unspoiled, the lines of the case sharp, exactly as they should be on a watch that has been well kept. The brushed Oyster bracelet is likewise in excellent condition, sitting securely and showing minimal signs of use, with the clasp operating cleanly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDial and Hands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe dial and hands are flawless. The glossy black dial is clean and unmarked, the applied hour markers and Mercedes hands in their white gold surrounds crisp and bright, and the red 24-hour hand sharp against the dial. The Super-LumiNova plots are intact and even throughout. The presentation is exactly as it should be, with nothing to note across either the dial or the handset.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChronometry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChronometry was carried out on the Witschi WAIO. The reference 16570 is powered by the chronometer-certified calibre 3185, held to the COSC tolerance of −4 to +6 seconds per day. This example returned a rate of +6 seconds per day, sitting right at the favourable upper edge of that chronometer window, with a beat error of just 0.2ms and a healthy amplitude of 252 degrees, all of which point to a movement running strongly and in good order. The watch also successfully passed a 5BAR pressure test, confirming its tightness against water at the time of testing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse Advisory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Explorer II 16570 is a robust modern sports watch made to be worn daily, and this example, now around twenty-four years old, remains in strong mechanical health. As with any watch that has been in service for two decades, periodic servicing is recommended to keep it running at its best. Treated with normal everyday care, it will continue to perform reliably for many years to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53565936730391,"sku":"Rolex Explorer II 16570 Black 40mm 2002 Box \u0026 Papers","price":10999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/8670\/3383\/files\/Rolex-Explorer-II-16570-Black-40mm-2002-Box-Papers-1.jpg?v=1782211439","url":"https:\/\/crownvintage.com.au\/products\/rolex-explorer-ii-16570-black-40mm-2002-box-papers","provider":"Crown Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
