Notes

In 1971 was introduced the Rolex Explorer II with the goal to provide a versatile and reliable tool to explorers. Characterized by the luminous 24-h hand that can glow under any light. This beautiful example comes with the big orange arrow hand so called “Freccione”, an MK1 dial characterized by the straight second hand.
