Description
One of the most exciting developments in the watch world in the last two years has been the extraordinary rise of the Explorer I and Explorer II. Once under the radar, the collecting community has embraced the Explorer models with intense fervour, and the watch is well on its way to reaching parity with other Rolex models like the Submariner and GMT-Master. Its recent rise doesn’t come as a surprise. Superb functionality, unbeatable good looks and built to endure the toughest conditions on planet Earth, this watch is a serious piece of kit that will never let you down. The fact that the watch has extraordinary historical significance is just an added bonus. This is the latest version of the Explorer II ‘Polar’ released in 2021 featuring all the latest and greatest watchmaking innovations from Rolex. Powering the watch is the automatic calibre 3285 with GMT function, date function and anti-magnetic Parachrom hairspring. The movement is Chronometer certified by independent body COSC, ensuring excellent timekeeping. It’s all housed in Rolex’s proprietary ‘Oystersteel’ case that is extremely tough, highly resistant to corrosion and water resistant up to 100 metres. If you love a watch that is highly legible under any conditions, this watch cannot be beat. The white/black contrasted dial can be easily read at a glance, including in the dark due to the Chromalight luminous material on the hands and hour markers that emits a very pleasing blue light deep into the night. The watch is in brand-new, unworn condition. The watch comes as a complete set with box, papers, booklets and hang tags. The watch has been tested and inspected for performance and is in excellent working condition. Hailwood Peters guarantees the watch for authenticity. The original manufacturer’s warranty is valid until December 2026.
