Explorer II

Story

A neo-vintage 2002 Rolex Explorer II with a snow-white dial

Vintage Rolex watches, when properly cared for, are much more than stylish accessories—they're wearable pieces of history that get more special with every passing year. This 2002 Rolex Explorer II has a sharp, svelte style that was literally built to light up the room. Designed for spelunkers, this timepiece’s snow-white dial and Super LumiNova hands and indices are intended for maximum visibility in dark caves, resulting in a watch that looks just as sharp out on the town as it does deep in a pitch-black cavern. This timepiece comes as part of a complete set with the original box, papers, and booklets from the original sale.
