The Modern Orange Hand. • The Rolex Explorer II is one of the most durable and practical watches – both for expeditions and everyday wear. • It began its journey in 1971 with the famous ‘Orange Hand’ 1655 model, but today we’re taking a closer look at its latest version: the Rolex Explorer II ref 216570. • A bold and modern tool and adventure watch, it has become a popular choice for a first Rolex, or as a watch that you’ll have on 24/7. Here are three facts about it. • First, the reference 216570 pays homage to the original Orange Hand 1655 Explorer, seen here. But, it’s not a tribute timepiece! • 216570 was launched in 2011 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Rolex Explorer II model. They brought back the orange 24-hour hand as a homage to the first ever Explorer II, the reference 1655 “Freccione” model from the 1970s. • But the comparison really ends with the orange hand. As you can see, the 24-hour bezel, hour and minute markers, and even the hands, are a departure from the original. The latest Rolex Explorer II looks very modern and avante-garde. • What the Reference 216570 is, is a natural evolution from the previous, modern Explorer II Reference 16570, seen here. • Apart from the orange hand and the bolder and larger markers and hands, Rolex updated the case from 38mm, to 42mm. • Originally created for spelunking and caving, these features are well suited for long hours in the dark. • The 216570 still comes in the same color variations as the previous modern Explorer II – a lacquer finish for the white dial and a satin finish for the black one. • Both dials bring out the Chromalight-coated markers, hands, and of course, the 24-hour orange hand. • The 216570 also came with a few updates that were considered first among Rolex professional watches. • First is the bracelet. Along with the update from the 16570, it was fitted with a new bracelet instead of using the existing one. • The new model came with solid centre links and a solid clasp, and features the Easylink system exclusive to Rolex. It allows the wearer to extend the last link by 5mm for greater comfort. • But the biggest change in the Reference 216570 lay within its case. The calibre 3187 was the first movement specifically developed for the Explorer range. • With the addition of Paraflex shock absorbers, it offers greater resistance to shocks and extreme conditions, and is an improvement from its previous calibre, the 3186. • All these improvements have made the latest Rolex Explorer II an ideal choice, whether you’re taking it for an adventure, or using it from day-to-day. • #RolexExplorer #RolexExplorer1 #RolexExplorer2
