The Rolex Explorer II 226570 is engineered as a true tool watch, created for explorers who rely on precision in extreme conditions. Its 42mm Oystersteel case is paired with a fixed steel bezel engraved with a 24-hour scale, allowing the distinctive orange GMT hand to track a second time zone with exceptional clarity. This design is rooted in Rolex’s history of supporting cave explorers, polar expeditions and long-duration journeys where day and night can blur.

The crisp white dial is designed for maximum legibility, featuring Chromalight hour markers and hands that glow with a long-lasting blue luminescence in low-light environments. Inside beats Rolex’s calibre 3285, a self-winding mechanical movement offering a 70-hour power reserve, Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, delivering outstanding resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. With 100m water resistance and a robust Oyster bracelet, the Explorer II remains one of the most practical and dependable professional Rolex watches ever produced.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
