The modern Explorer II is Rolex’s most useful “tool watch” that people mostly use as a flex at brunch. The ref. 226570 keeps the classic 42 mm Explorer II profile, adds the latest-generation movement, and remains one of the most functional steel sports Rolex models: fixed 24-hour bezel, big lume, independent hour hand, and a true GMT.
Inside is the automatic calibre 3285 with Rolex’s Chronergy escapement and a 70-hour power reserve. It’s the kind of watch you can actually travel with, beat up a little, and still feel annoyingly satisfied about.
