Rolex Explorer II 226570-0002 is a GMT watch with a 42 mm Oystersteel case. The steel case carries a fixed, 24-hour graduated bezel and a screw-down winding crown, with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and Cyclops lens over the date. Inside is calibre 3285, a self-winding movement described by Rolex as perpetual, mechanical, with GMT function and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The black dial shows luminous hands and indices along with a central seconds display and date, and it is chronometer certified. A second time zone hand allows independent tracking of a 24-hour display alongside local time. The Oyster bracelet in steel closes with a folding Oysterlock safety clasp fitted with an Easylink comfort extension link. That same case is rated to 100 metres of water resistance.
