RolexExplorerModel No: 226570-BLKIND-G21A

Did you know this Rolex is highly popular with speleologists (researchers of caves), volcanologists, and polar explorers? As the name suggests, this Rolex is made for explorers, especially the ones embarking on journeys where lights remain dim and polar regions where the sun does not set. Reference 226570 was unveiled in 2021 on the 50th anniversary of the original Explorer II’s launch in 1971. Though technologically superior, it keeps the essence of the original timepiece intact.

This 42mm Explorer II features a black dial equipped with Chromalight hands and index markers, providing excellent legibility in the dark. To make sure that you don’t forget what day it is on your expeditions, it has a Cyclops-lensed date display at three o’clock. It also boasts a practical GMT function with an arrow-shaped luminous hand indicating a second-time zone on the fixed bezel. Moreover, it also helps distinguish the hours of the day from the hours of the night. The Oystersteel body and a robust sapphire crystal help the watch get through the roughest environments unscathed. Additionally, it is water resistant up to 100 metres. This watch is powered by a self-winding calibre 3285, generating a reserve of approximately 70 hours.

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.
