Replica Explorer II 216570 White Dial
The Spirit of Adventure, Reborn
The Rolex Explorer II has always belonged to a different breed of adventurers — not the climbers of Everest, but the explorers of darkness.
Introduced in the 1970s for cave explorers and polar expeditions, the white “Polar Dial” version became an icon of clarity and endurance.
In 2024, Clean Factory revives that legacy with near-perfect craftsmanship and the latest 2836 integrated movement, offering a blend of robust engineering and aesthetic purity that pays true respect to the original Reference 216570.
When you hold it, you don’t just see a watch — you feel the cold precision of a tool built for survival.
The Polar Dial — Built for Clarity
The clean white lacquer dial is where this model earns its “Polar” nickname.
Each applied black hour marker contrasts perfectly against the matte dial, ensuring absolute legibility under any lighting condition.
Clean Factory achieves this effect using multi-layer enamel coating and laser-defined index outlines, faithfully reproducing the bold geometry of the genuine Explorer II.
The orange GMT hand, shaped like an arrow, cuts through the dial with perfect color saturation and lume balance — a feature that many replicas often fail to capture.
Precision Inside — 2836 Integrated Movement
At the heart of this Explorer II beats the Clean Factory 2836 integrated movement, engineered for smooth GMT hand functionality and accurate timekeeping.
Unlike modular builds, this integrated version synchronizes the 24-hour hand and local time adjustment in true Rolex fashion.
Key Specs:
-
28,800 vibrations per hour
-
±2 seconds/day precision
-
Full 24-hour independent GMT function
-
40-hour power reserve
-
Anti-magnetic balance spring and stable amplitude
The winding feels crisp, tactile, and deliberate — a hallmark of Clean Factory’s precision machining.
Crafted from 904L Steel — A True Tool Watch
The 42mm 904L Oystersteel case retains the Explorer II’s utilitarian DNA.
From the brushed satin case sides to the solid Oyster bracelet, every contour and finish mirrors the original texture of Rolex’s proprietary steel alloy.
The 24-hour fixed bezel, laser-etched with deep black numerals, allows explorers to read dual time zones easily — a vital feature for those working in polar environments where day and night blur together.
