The Rolex Explorer II reference 1655 was Rolex's first Explorer II, introduced in 1971 for cave explorers and polar researchers who needed to tell day from night with no natural light to judge it by: a fixed 24-hour bezel and an oversized orange 24-hour hand read a second time scale at a glance. Collectors nicknamed it "Freccione," Italian for "big arrow," after that hand. (Hairspring)
