Born for adventures the Explorer II serves as an extremely reliable instrument for climbers and scientists. Designed to be used under extreme conditions, sometimes in environments that there is no differentiation between day and night, the Explorer II serves its purpose for its signature 24 hour steel bezel, with an extra hand on the dial helping to indicate the hour of the day. The present reference 16570 is the third iteration of the explorer II, introduced in 1989 and in production for over 22 years. It is most recognizable for its red 24 hours hand and 40 mm case, with the present dial finished in black. With the Explorer II collection celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021, this is the best time to acquire this very underrated classic, that is complete and close to new condition.
