The Explorer II 226570 is Rolex's definitive tool watch for those who demand legibility and precision in any environment - the bright white "Polar" dial paired with the bold orange GMT hand making it one of the most visually striking references in the current lineup. Introduced in 2021, the 226570 brought a larger 42mm case and the modern Caliber 3285 to a reference with a direct lineage to cave explorers and polar expeditions.
