1991 Gents 40mm Rolex Explorer II Polar White Dial on Stainless Steel Oyster Bracelet
Engineered for extremes and built with unmistakable purpose, this Explorer II by Rolex is a true tool watch with a legacy rooted in adventure. Crafted from durable Oystersteel, the robust Oyster case features a monobloc middle, screw-down case back, and Twinlock crown, ensuring water resistance up to 100 metres. Its fixed 24-hour graduated bezel is not just a design statement, but a functional companion for those who push boundaries in the most challenging environments.
The striking polar white dial offers exceptional legibility, enhanced by bold hour markers and hands filled with Chromalight luminescence, emitting a long-lasting blue glow in low-light conditions. Designed for clarity in all situations, the dial is paired with a distinctive 24-hour hand that completes a full rotation once per day, allowing the wearer to differentiate between day and night an essential feature for explorers navigating constant daylight or complete darkness.
At the heart of the watch lies the Rolex calibre 3285, a self-winding mechanical movement built for precision and reliability. Offering an impressive accuracy of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing, it also features a GMT function, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone with an independently adjustable hour hand. Equipped with a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, this movement is designed to perform flawlessly under pressure, with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
The Oyster bracelet completes the piece with strength, comfort, and security, featuring solid three-piece links and an Oysterlock clasp with Easylink extension for easy adjustment. This pre-owned model comes complete with its original box and papers, adding to its collectability and provenance. Presented in premium packaging and covered by a one-year warranty, this Explorer II is more than a watch it’s a symbol of endurance, precision, and the spirit of exploration.
