Rolex Explorer II Explorer II White Tritium

Reference 16570-0001

About this watch

The Rolex Explorer II White Tritium is a true masterpiece among luxury watches. Its striking white dial with contrasting black hour markers and hands creates a perfect balance, ensuring readability even in low-light conditions. The iconic Mercedes hands are a nod to Rolex’s rich heritage, making this model instantly recognizable. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the 40mm case is both robust and elegant, suitable for both adventurous outings and formal occasions. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, this watch remains pristine even after years of use. At the heart lies the Rolex caliber 3185, a marvel of engineering boasting a 50-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour. With an adjustable 24-hour hand and date function, it's perfect for globetrotters who need to keep track of time across different time zones. The 'Tritium' in the name refers to the luminescent material used on the hour markers and hands, adding a vintage touch that makes the watch practical for night-time adventures.
