Rolex Explorer II 1655 1975 Papers + Original Receipt

Originally released in 1971, the ref. 1655 was the very first Explorer II produced by Rolex. Originally designed for cave explorers, it features a 24-hour hand to help them keep track of time while in the dark. Unlike subsequent Explorer II models, the 1655 has a distinctive dial and hand layout. Instead of the brand's iconic 'Mercedes' hands, the 1655 uses less flashy but equally practical pencil hands. The dial is more visually complex, with alternating hour minute markers making for a funky aesthetic. The watch got its nickname from the legendary actor and racecar driver, who was often spotted wearing one. It's a very unique Rolex given how different it was from its successors, making it a worthy part of any collection.✅Authentic: All watches are authenticated and come with a letter of authenticity ↪️Returns: 14 day return available on all watches, we want you to be 100% happy! 📃Warranty: Unless otherwise stated, all watches bought through Chrono24 come with a 6 month warranty 📦Shipping: Fully-insured shipping to all corners of the world
