The Explorer we’re offering here is an early 16570 ‘Polar’ from 1995 and nicknamed this way due to the crisply white dial. That white Swiss-T\u0026lt;25 dial features Tritium filled indices with also the original Tritium hands-set to match, both show a wonderful off-white\/eggshell toned patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our humble opinion these early examples of the 16570 Explorer II with pinhole case, Tritium applied dial and hands, and the older style bracelet are the best ones to look out for if you’re interested in buying a neo-vintage, Rolex sports watch. Considering that 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Explorer II, it’s probably not a bad idea to pick one of these early, five digit Tritium Explorers up. Right now this is the most ‘affordable’ five digit sports Rolex compared to a Submariner or GMT for instance, and prices will only continue to increase! Our Rolex Explorer II 16570 features a nice and fat case with strong lugs and a very well conditioned 78360 Oyster bracelet with hardly any stretch. The white Polar dial is spotless and all the hands, date-disc and 24 hour stainless steel bezel are original to the watch. The tritium inside the indices is showing an attractive off-white colour, enough to create a wonderful contrast with that virgin white, Polar dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis true Rolex Toolwatch was fully serviced by our watchmakers and will be sold with a 24 month warranty, along with our WWH Service Rapport. We’d like to invite you to our showroom so you can view this Explorer II with your own two eyes – Coffee’s on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ereference:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e16570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecase number:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eW serial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eyear of production:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecase diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e40mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eautomatic, Rolex caliber 3185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebox and papers\u003c\/strong\u003e: no\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52482061467976,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/6104\/6856\/files\/310F555D-708B-459D-AF6E-0820294ED308_1_201_a.jpg?v=1771167829","url":"https:\/\/watchworkshaarlem.com\/products\/rolex-explorer-ii-ref-16570-polar-dial","provider":"WATCHWORKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
