RolexExplorerModel No: 16570-WHTIND-G06A

The Rolex Explorer II 16570 is an understated sports watch in a handsome stainless steel case with a valuable dual-time function. A balanced design enhanced by subtle elements renders it highly versatile, thereby making it an ideal everyday partner as well as a reliable travel buddy.

Originally, Explorer was introduced in 1953 as a robust timepiece designed for mountaineers, adventurers, and splenkurs. In 1971, the house launched Explorer II reference 1655 alongside the original version, with a few elemental updates, such as the addition of a 24-bezel with an oversized hand. But it was only in 1985 that the Explorer II became a GMT watch with the newly-updated reference 16550. It came with calibre 3085, which allowed the 24-hand to be set independently. In 1989, this reference was discontinued, and the third-generation Explorer II reference 16570 we have here was introduced.

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.
