Rolex explorer II 16570 'chi-chi di mais'

Steel – Automatic – Tritium Dial – 40mm A cult classic with a twist of character, this Rolex Explorer II 16570 features the beloved “chi-chi di mais” tritium dial—nicknamed for its warm, corn-yellow lume plots that have developed a subtle, creamy patina over time. Produced in the transitional era of the late 1990s to early 2000s, this reference blends old-school Rolex charm with modern wearability. The 40mm stainless steel case houses the fixed 24-hour bezel and a white dial that adds contrast and vintage allure—complemented by black surrounds and the iconic red GMT hand. Powered by the automatic caliber 3185, this movement offers independently adjustable hour hands for true GMT functionality, along with robust reliability. This particular example is in excellent condition, showing only light signs of careful wear. Case and bracelet are in exceptional condition. A perfect everyday vintage sport Rolex, with just the right touch of character for collectors who appreciate the details.
