Rolex Explorer II “Orange Hand” Stainless Steel 42mm Gorgeous Updated Model with White Dial! Exotic – Rare – And Absolutely Breathtaking! Super Exclusive 42mm Explorer II from Rolex. A powerful & striking watch – will definitely draw attention & makes for a great conversation piece. Here it is Watch Fans, the newly released Rolex 216570 aka the orange handed Rolex Explorer II. Everything about this watch is spot on. The Rolex 216570 Explorer II marks the 40th anniversary of the original Explorer II. The case is enlarged to 42mm and houses the updated Rolex caliber 3187 which is entirely designed and manufactured by Rolex. The Caliber 3187 includes recent Rolex innovations such as Para-flex shock absorbers and parachrom hairspring. The bracelet (77210) features a new Oysterlock clasp with safety catch and Easy-link extension link. On the dial, the 24-hour hand has returned and the orange color of the original 1971 model. The luminescent hour and minute hands are broader and more legible. The large orange 24-hour hand refers to the first model Explorer II in 1971 (a.k.a Freccione or Steve McQueen Explorer) with reference 1655 and I think Rolex did a neat job on their ‘homage’. Rolex aficionados all over the world have been discussing the broad hour and minute hands and whether this was either good or bad. Needless to say as we let the sales numbers do the talking, the verdict is good. Personally, this would be the modern Rolex I’d buy if I was in the running for one, I love the satin brushed bezel and orange hour hand. With the festive season around, people are planning to buy expensive gifts for their loved ones and what could be a better gift than a luxury timepiece. An expensive watch tells a lot about the status of the owner, one such special edition watch set is has been rolled out by the well known watchmaker Rolex.
