Where the Explorer I is restraint distilled to its purest form, the Explorer II adds a fixed 24-hour graduated bezel and an independent red GMT hand, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone at a glance. It is a functional watch in the truest sense — developed for cavers, polar explorers, and travellers who needed to distinguish day from night in environments where natural light offered no reliable answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1991 example carries the black dial configuration — the more dramatic and collector-favoured of the two dial options the 16570 was offered in across its production run. The red GMT hand reads against the black dial and white 24-hour bezel with the kind of clarity that Rolex designed into the reference from its inception. The case appears unpolished, with the factory brushing intact and the surfaces sharp — a notable detail on a watch now approaching thirty-five years of age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71851715887126,"sku":"ROL-1657-1015","price":14750.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0202\/3856\/5398\/files\/RolexExplorerIIRef.16570_Black_Dial_1991_ROL-1657-1015__0012_DSCF0937.jpg?v=1788399064","url":"https:\/\/wynnandthayne.com\/products\/rolex-explorer-ii-black-dial-ref-16570-1991","provider":"Wynn \u0026 Thayne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
