The Rolex Explorer II 216570 is the 2011 update that enlarged the Explorer II to a 42 mm case, the line's biggest change since the independently settable 24-hour hand arrived in 1985. It revived the broad orange GMT hand from the original 1655 as a deliberate heritage cue, paired it with Chromalight lume and larger dial furniture for legibility, and ran it on the automatic calibre 3187, rated to 100 m. (Bob's Watches) Rolex offered it in black or white "polar" dials until the 42.5 mm 226570 replaced it in 2021.
