Engineered to withstand the world’s most demanding environments, the Rolex Explorer II Reference 226570 with the iconic white “Polar” dial represents the pinnacle of modern utility watchmaking. Originally created for cave explorers, volcanologists, and polar researchers who navigate extreme conditions without light context, the Explorer II continues its legacy as one of the most versatile dual-time timepieces in the Rolex Professional lineup. Case & Dial DesignConstructed from 904L Oystersteel, the 42mm case balances wrist presence with ergonomic comfort. The defining hallmark of the reference 226570 Polar is its brilliant white lacquer dial. The hour markers and hands feature a distinct PVD matte-black coating that creates a sharp visual contrast against the white backdrop. In low light, Rolex’s signature Chromalight display glows with a long-lasting blue hue. The fixed stainless-steel bezel retains its classic radial-brushed finish with black engraved 24-hour graduations, working seamlessly with the prominent orange GMT hand. Performance & MovementAt the heart of the 226570 is the Rolex Manufacture Calibre 3285. This self-winding mechanical movement includes an independently adjustable local hour hand—allowing travel across time zones without stopping the movement. Incorporating a blue Parachrom hairspring and high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, Calibre 3285 delivers Superlative Chronometer accuracy (-2/+2 seconds per day) and a substantial 70-hour power reserve. Bracelet & Daily WearabilityThe watch is fitted on a solid-link Oystersteel bracelet with a brushed finish. For security and everyday practicality, the Oysterlock folding safety clasp is integrated with the Easylink 5mm comfort extension system, enabling quick adjustments without tools during temperature changes. Water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet), the Explorer II 226570 Polar dial is an enduring tool watch engineered for both globe-trotting adventure and daily luxury wear.
