About this watch

Preloved Rolex Explorer II 16570 'Polar' 40MM 1993 Box & Papers Case and Bracelet The 40 mm Oyster case has been polished previously and remains in great condition, with the fixed 24-hour bezel presenting cleanly. The Oyster bracelet is also in great condition, showing moderate stretch consistent with more than three decades of wear. The watch is supplied with its box and papers. Dial and Hands The white Polar dial and hands are in very good condition and are forming an attractive patina, a gentle shift in tone that gives this 1993 Explorer II a warmth a newer example cannot replicate. Against the white dial, the black-framed hour markers and red 24-hour hand remain clear and legible, exactly as the design intends. Use Advisory At more than 30 years old, this Explorer II should be treated as a vintage timepiece. We recommend avoiding swimming and prolonged water exposure, and keeping it clear of hard impacts and strong magnetic fields.
