Description
Built for explorers who venture into extreme environments, the Rolex Explorer II delivers the functionality demanded by spelunkers and mountaineers since 1971.

Oyster bracelet with Easylink extension system adapts to changing conditions. This piece offers water-resistant to 100 metres and features a sapphire crystal.
