Rolex Explorer II 226570 NEW

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer II has its origins in Rolex's involvement in exploration. Designed to support explorers during their ventures into uncharted territories, these watches are equipped with the highest standards of strength and reliability. These two qualities were often the only assurance for explorers during extreme survival journeys. To ensure that the watches continue to function perfectly under extreme conditions, Rolex has tested the watches during Himalayan expeditions since 1930, even at temperatures of -50 degrees Celsius and 70% less oxygen than at sea level. Although these watches did not yet bear the name Explorer at that time, they form the basis for the design of these impressive timepieces.
