About the Rolex Explorer II – Ref. 16570 (Black Dial / Super-Luminova):
The Rolex Explorer II reference 16570 represents one of the brand’s most understated yet functional tool watches. Introduced in the late 1990s, this version from 2003 features the robust and reliable caliber 3185 movement and a luminous Super-Luminova dial for enhanced legibility in low-light environments. Unlike the rotating bezel of the GMT-Master II, the Explorer II features a fixed 24-hour bezel designed for cave explorers and adventurers needing to distinguish day from night. With its 40mm stainless steel case, black dial, and signature orange-red 24-hour hand, the 16570 delivers a perfect balance of utility, precision, and classic Rolex style—making it a favorite among collectors seeking subtlety and heritage.
