Rolex Explorer II 42mm 216570 “Polar” White Dial Stainless Steel Bezel Oyster Bracelet

Built for adventure and instantly recognizable by its crisp Polar white dial, the Rolex Explorer II Ref. 216570 is a rugged professional timepiece designed for exceptional legibility and everyday versatility.

The substantial 42mm Oystersteel case is paired with a fixed stainless steel 24-hour bezel and Rolex’s classic Oyster bracelet. Its bright white dial features black-outlined luminous hour markers and hands for outstanding contrast, while the signature orange 24-hour hand adds a bold pop of color.

Powered by Rolex’s automatic Caliber 3187, the Explorer II allows the wearer to distinguish between day and night or track a second time zone using the dedicated 24-hour hand and engraved bezel.

The 216570 Polar is one of the most distinctive modern Rolex sport watches, combining a larger 42mm case with a highly legible white dial and signature orange GMT-style hand.
