Designed with a 24-hour bezel and a luminous 24-hour big arrow hand, the Rolex Explorer II reference 16550 is a watch that was dedicated to those who spent long periods of time in dark environments such as spelunkers.


The aesthetic of the watch is enhanced with its rich ivory tone dial, which is a result of it aging beautifully over many years.
