The Explorer II was born in 1971 as a higher-end model of the Explorer, with improved functionality and robustness. It was released with many features, including a 24-hour scaled bezel, GMT hand, and date display. The second generation also introduced a white dial, making it a watch that can be worn at all times, and its popularity has become immovable. It has established its position as one of Rolex's leading adventure watches, along with the Explorer.
