Replica Rolex Explorer Series M226570-0001 42mm

The Explorer II 226570 updated the white-dial Explorer II for a new generation, bringing a 42mm case, improved bracelet, and modern movement architecture to a tool watch originally designed for speleologists and polar explorers. The white lacquered dial with the iconic orange 24-hour hand remains one of Rolex’s most distinctive sporting faces, offering dual-timezone functionality without a rotating bezel.

Key Specifications

The 226570 Up Close

The white lacquered dial provides maximum contrast against the black-printed hour markers and the vivid orange 24-hour hand. A Cyclops lens magnifies the date window at three o’clock, and luminescent-filled Mercedes-style hands ensure readability in caves, tunnels, or polar twilight conditions where day and night lose distinction.

The 42mm Oystersteel case features a fixed bezel with engraved 24-hour numerals that serve as a reference for the orange hand. The Oyster bracelet includes an Oysterlock clasp with Easylink comfort extension. Browse more expedition-ready references in our Explorer collection.
