Although still too under-appreciated, the Explorer II is an aesthetic and historical bombshell.  Also known as the "Polar" when configured with a white dial, it is one of only two so-called Rolex “toolwatches” to offer a white dial option (alongside the Daytona). As is often the case with Rolex's neo-vintage watches, the reference 16570 perfectly blends vintage aesthetics with modern strength and technology. Whether for its bracelet, its GMT function or its particularly legible white dial, the Polar is an extremely interesting timepiece in terms of both utility and "value for money".  This particular piece is probably our favorite configuration of the 16570. Its pristine white dial contrasts well with the steel case and bezel, the latter giving the Polar a pure toolwatch look. The red GMT hand adds vivacity to this relatively discreet timepiece. The luminova indexes enhance the dial, giving it that true sleek "Polar" look. The dial, case and bracelet have all been extremely well preserved, as the photos show. This watch is just waiting for the person who can make this time capsule their own, and enjoy one of the most pleasant and simple watches to wear on a daily basis.
