About this watch
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II Watch - Oystersteel - Black Dial - Oyster Bracelet - 2021 Release - 226570 bk
Powered by Rolex's caliber 3285 movement with its 70-hour power reserve, this 2021 Oystersteel Explorer II presents the purest expression of cave and polar exploration heritage in 42mm of brushed stainless steel. The black dial configuration of reference 226570 maintains the collection's signature 24-hour orange GMT hand while incorporating the updated proportions that debuted with this generation. Rolex's proprietary Oystersteel construction delivers the corrosion resistance demanded by professional explorers, while the Chromalight display ensures legibility in the perpetual darkness of subterranean environments. This unworn example represents the modern evolution of Gerald Fitzgerald's original spelunking companion, refined through decades of feedback from cave exploration teams worldwide.
