About the Watch

A capable and understated tool watch from the late 1990s, the Explorer II Ref. 16570 reflects Rolex's pragmatic approach to dual-time functionality and legibility.

The Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570 is presented in a 40mm stainless steel case, paired with a clean white dial and fixed 24-hour bezel. The layout remains highly legible, with bold markers and a red GMT hand that offers clear orientation in low-light or extended-wear conditions. On the wrist, the proportions feel balanced and unobtrusive, making it well-suited to daily use across a range of settings.

Powered by an automatic movement, it delivers reliable dual-time functionality in a proven and robust platform. This 1997 example is offered in mint condition and comes as watch only, representing a clean and well-preserved iteration of the reference.

A straightforward and enduring GMT-capable tool watch, with lasting practicality and appeal.
