Shop Straps for Rolex Explorer II (16550, 16570).
EXPLORER II
In 1971, Rolex released the first Explorer II (Ref. 1655). The Explorer II is geared less toward mountaineering and more toward spelunking, featuring a 24-hour hand indicating day or night. This 24-hour hand is accompanied by a fixed 24-hour bezel: a defining characteristic of the Explorer II to this day. It also has a date window – a feature that no Explorer I has ever had. The Explorer II is larger than all Explorer I models to this point, coming in at 39mm. In 1985, Rolex released a transitional reference for the Explorer II line: the 16550. This new reference increased the size to 40mm, upgraded to a sapphire crystal, and came with a new movement: the Rolex caliber 3085. The 16550 is the blueprint for the modern Explorer II.
