The Oyster Perpetual Explorer and Explorer II evolved from Rolex’s involvement in exploration, through equipping polar, mountaineering and caving expeditions over many years. The origins of the Explorer can be traced back to the 1950s, and to this day they remain crafted for endurance, perpetuating Rolex’s links with exploration at every frontier.
This 2021 edition of the Explorer II has a diameter of 42mm, with a black dial featuring 3-6-9 numerals, framed by a 24-hour graduated unidirectional bezel. Beneath this iconic aesthetic lies the Calibre 3187 movement offering a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, all protected by sapphire crystal.
