Ref. 216570. The Rolex Explorer II celebrates it 40th Anniversary with a new version. We had seen the new Rolex Explorer II last year in a leaked video. So while it was a very interesting new release, it felt anti-climactic, or so we thought. What none of the images revealed is that the new 2011 Rolex Explorer II has a case enlarged to 42 mm. Inside you will find a new movement, Rolex calibre 3187, which incorporates the PARAFLEX shock absorbers and the non-magnetic PARACHROM hair- spring.
The orange colored 24 hour hand, pays homage to the 1971 model. Like the previous version the 24 hour hand can be set independently from the 12 hour hand.
While the images we have only show the variant with a white dial, there is also a black dialed version.
Update: Actual 42mm Rolex Explorer II pictures at this link.
