Rolex Explorer II 16570
Do you think of yourself as a bit of an explorer? Someone who seeks out adventure, new experiences and opportunities, or just new places to visit? If so, you’ll want a watch to match your personality, and a Rolex watchcould be just the thing for you. The aptly named Rolex Explorer range was designed with the free spirited adventurer in mind, and there is a wide range of styles to suit any would-be explorer.
The History Of The Explorer
As you might expect, the Rolex Explorer was originally designed for… well, explorers. With its strong, durable casing and high visibility dial, it was a watch made to weather all conditions, and to last as long as you could (and longer) in the great outdoors. When it was first brought out, wearers of the watch could ask for it to be lubricated with a special oil so that it could withstand extreme temperatures without damaging any part of the case or the interior. Its primary claim to fame was that it was designed for the first successful Everest expedition in 1953 (by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hilary), but in truth, it had actually been used on expeditions prior to Norgay and Hilary’s exploration.
Why Buy An Explorer Watch?
The Explorer is probably one of the most well-known Rolex watches; they’re easy to recognise, so people will know you’re wearing a genuine, classic watch; the large dial (usually black), the luminous markers – including the triangle at the 12 position – and the Arabic numerals on the quarters make this easy to distinguish. It’s designed with explorers in mind, but it goes just as easily with a business suit or smart clothes as it does with outdoor apparel. Many Explorers come with a red third hand to keep track of different time zones and are also water resistant up to 100 metres, making this stylish watch your best bet for any outdoor adventures. No matter what you think of the design, the Rolex Explorer is so distinctive, it can’t be confused with any other watch – it’s completely unique.
Which Watch Should You Go For?
Just as there are many different models of Rolex watches, there are several different versions of the Explorer watch available. Here are just a few of the many watches out there at the moment.
If you want a simple, slim design, the Rolex Explorer 114270 could be the watch for you. With a black dial and luminous numeral and index markers, it has all the qualities of a typical Explorer, and its polished steel bezel and steel oyster lock bracelet means you won’t exactly be losing in the style stakes. It also has automatic chronometer movement.
If you want something a little more robust-looking, try going for the Rolex Explorer II 16570. This also has a black dial with applied luminous hour markers and steel oyster lock bracelet, but it also has a third red hand for a second time zone – for the real explorers out there. Like many Rolex watches, it is water resistant up to 100 metres and has a case diameter of 40mm. This watch looks like it could withstand anything an intrepid explorer might throw at it, making it beautiful to look at and hard-wearing too.
The Rolex Explorer II 16570 31 has a slightly different look, with a white dial instead of black. It also has a 40mm case diameter, applied luminous hour markers, that red third hand for a second time zone, and steel oyster lock bracelet. You won’t have to worry about water with this one either; it’s also water resistant up to 100 metres.
