Watch lovers and experts were eagerly waiting for the new Rolex watches that were introduced in 2021. This also included a new edition of the Explorer II with the reference 226570. This new timepiece was introduced in time for the 50th anniversary of the Explorer and remains true to its size of 42 mm. The watch is available with a black or white dial and is once again characterized by its striking and unmistakable design. In comparison to the previous reference 216570, you can see an eye-catching detail on the sides of the lugs: the narrow lugs. The new generation of sports models has already demonstrated this and now the Explorer is following suit.
The new caliber
The new Explorer watches with reference 226570 also include the newly installed automatic caliber 3285. It is developed and built entirely by Rolex itself in its own factories. It can also be found in the GMT Master and is characterized by the Chromergy escapement used. This ensures that the clock can achieve greater efficiency. This is reflected in the power reserve, which is 70 hours. The functions resulting from this remain unchanged. The seconds, minutes and hours display next to the date display is possible. In addition, an error-free distinction between day and night can be made thanks to the orange pointer.
An unmistakable design
The striking bezel of the Explorer II reference 226570 is equipped with 24-hour graduations, which makes it possible to distinguish between day and night. Regardless of the version, the dial is easy to read even in difficult lighting conditions thanks to the long-lasting luminous material. The date is also easier and easier to read thanks to the cyclops magnifying glass used.
