A true adventurer's watch, the Explorer II has embodied the spirit of exploration and Rolex's horological robustness since 1971.
This generation stands out with its imposing 42 mm case, excellent legibility, and orange 24-hour hand, directly inspired by the original Explorer II.
A discontinued reference, particularly appreciated by enthusiasts of the Geneva-based manufacture.
A 2019 EXAMPLE IN LIKE-NEW CONDITION
We are offering this 2019 example in exceptional condition, with a presentation close to new.
The watch comes with its original set of accessories FULL SET, including its green Rolex box, original warranty card, booklets, and document holder.

THE ROLEX 3187 CALIBRE — ROBUSTNESS AND PRECISION
At the heart of this Explorer II beats the Rolex 3187 in-house calibre, a fully in-house developed automatic mechanical movement.
Equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring and a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, this movement combines reliability, precision, and resistance to everyday wear.
The additional orange hand allows for the reading of a second time zone over 24 hours, with independent adjustment from the local hour hand.
A complication particularly appreciated by travelers and collectors.
