Explorer 2 1655

Originally debuting in the early 1970s, the Explorer II 1655, often called the “Steve McQueen” though oddly he never really wore it, carved a niche as the rugged adventurer’s choice, designed for cave explorers and those who, you know, lived without sunlight for days. At Tropical Watch, we love how the 1655’s bold orange 24-hour hand and quirky dial details make it not just historic, but seriously cool—and yeah, still super wearable today.
