Since its introduction the Explorer II with 24-hour bezel and a large luminous arrow has certainly lived up to its name - it was part of the standard equipment of several highly challenging expeditions late in the 20th century, such as the GEOMAG North expedition.
The Explorer II models - particularly those with white dials have become favourites among collectors of Rolex sports watches.
