  • Description

    Unleash timeless adventure with the Explorer II Ref. 1655 — a bold chapter in Rolex history, crafted for those who seek both rugged function and vintage character. Encased in durable 40 mm stainless steel, this watch features the iconic fixed 24‐hour bezel and the bright “big arrow” 24-hour hand that once guided spelunkers and cave explorers deep in darkness. 

    The matte black dial with tritium hour markers and luminous hands offers strong contrast and clarity. 

    Powered by a reliable automatic movement, this piece isn’t just a timepiece—it’s a statement of heritage, tool-watch pedigree and refined style. Whether you’re in the boardroom or underground, the Explorer II 1655 commands respect. This is for the collector who knows that true consensus is earned, not given.
