The Rolex Explorer II reference 216570 was launched in 2011 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the model, distinguished by its enlarged 42 mm case and the return of the oversized orange 24-hour hand, recalling the original Explorer II ref. 1655. Designed for adventurers and professionals working in extreme conditions, the model features a highly legible black dial, robust Oyster case, and the in-house automatic calibre 3187.
The present example is particularly noteworthy as it was made for the 22 Special Air Service Regiment (SAS), one of the most prestigious special forces units in the world. Accompanied by its full set, including Rolex guarantee, hang tags, instruction manual, and a specially issued numbered SAS medal, this watch represents both a professional-grade Rolex tool watch and a rare military-linked edition, highly prized by collectors.
