Vintage Rolex Explorer Ii

The vintage Rolex Explorer II, first launched in 1971 as the ref. 1655, was built tough for adventurers who needed a reliable companion in extreme conditions, like, actual caves and polar expeditions—how cool is that. Its iconic 24-hour orange hand and rugged design made it a true tool watch, not just a fashion statement. At Tropical Watch, we celebrate that spirit by curating rare finds for collectors who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and just great watches.
