In the depths of uncharted caves or the stark brilliance of polar landscapes, knowing whether it is day or night becomes survival.
The Explorer II’s dedicated orange 24-hour hand circles the dial once each day, pointing to a fixed 24-hour bezel. Together, they distinguish daylight from darkness, offering explorers an unfailing sense of time even when the sun refuses to rise or set.

This unique design, born from practical necessity, has become an icon of reliability for speleologists, polar scientists, and extreme adventurers alike.
True to Rolex’s pursuit of perfection, the Explorer II’s Chromalight display ensures exceptional legibility in every circumstance.
Its long-lasting blue luminescence glows with an unwavering calm, guiding its wearer through pitch-black caverns or blinding snowfields with equal ease. Every glance reassures, every moment is illuminated, no matter the conditions.

Housed in a 42mm Oystersteel case, the Explorer II exudes strength without arrogance. Beneath its rugged exterior lies the Calibre 3285 movement, a marvel of modern horology that ensures precision, durability, and an impressive power reserve.
Like its wearer, this watch is built to endure, to face the impossible and keep perfect time while doing so.

The Explorer II is a statement of intent. It speaks to those who climb higher, venture deeper, and go further. To those who seek the places untouched by civilization, where nature is raw and time feels infinite.
Whether you are tracing the contours of a glacier or navigating the labyrinth of a cavern, the Rolex Explorer II is your silent guide, your trusted witness, your unyielding connection to the rhythm of the world.
