Rolex Explorer II White Dial 226570

Overview 

The Rolex Explorer II 226570 is a rugged, purpose-driven watch that builds on the Explorer II legacy with refined updates that enhance both functionality and style. Released in 2021, this model maintains its familiar 42mm case size but features slightly adjusted proportions for a more balanced fit on the wrist. Crafted from durable stainless steel, the Oyster case is built to withstand extreme environments, whether on a polar expedition or a spelunking adventure. Its brushed finish gives the watch a sleek, understated look, making it equally suited for the outdoors or daily wear.

A key characteristic of the 226570 is its signature 24-hour bezel, which remains fixed with engraved numerals, enabling the wearer to track a second time zone in either AM/PM or dual-time format. Both the white “Polar” and black dial versions feature the iconic, bold orange 24-hour hand, a striking and functional detail that enhances readability. On the Polar dial, the contrast between the bright white background and black markers makes for exceptional legibility, while the black dial version’s orange hand adds a vibrant touch to its classic monochromatic look.

The 226570 is powered by Rolex’s advanced Calibre 3285 movement, known for its precision, shock resistance, and magnetic resistance. This in-house movement offers a 70-hour power reserve, allowing the watch to easily maintain accuracy through an active weekend. Built with reliability in mind, the movement’s COSC-certified accuracy makes it a trusted companion for anyone who needs a timepiece capable of performing under demanding conditions, whether traveling across time zones or navigating urban settings.

Adding to the comfort and versatility of the 226570 is Rolex’s Oyster bracelet, which features the Easylink comfort extension system, allowing for an easy 5mm adjustment. This subtle feature, paired with the watch’s well-balanced case and lightweight build, ensures a comfortable fit for long periods of wear. The Explorer II 226570 combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern robustness, making it an enduring choice for watch enthusiasts who value both Rolex heritage and contemporary performance.
