1986 Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16550

The Rolex Explorer II spent much of its history trapped in the shadows of its more popular sports watch siblings. However, that has all changed in recent years, and Rolex’s cult-favorite speleologist’s timepiece is now right up there with the other all-time great tool watch icons like the Submariner and GMT-Master. In this episode of our video series What Is On My Wrist, Craft + Tailored’s CEO Cameron Barr puts on his spelunking helmet and descends into the details of a beautiful unpolished example of an early Rolex Explorer II ref. 16550 that is fitted with a cream-colored “rail dial” to explain why these transitional “Polar” Explorer II models are becoming increasingly popular targets for today’s vintage collectors.
