It has become a habit of us to guess what Rolex will launch, and we like to make these predictions, just as we imagine you like to discover them. It's not always easy to see the latest introduction of Rolex. In fact, the brand can sometimes be unpredictable...or very traditional. For example, people are looking forward to last year's Submariner replica series, and the results must be very conservative. So, what illusions do we have about Rolex's prediction in 2021? Today we start with a major one: a new Rolex Explorer II Black Ceramic Bezel watch replica 216570.
The Movement
We think it’s about time for the brand to breathe some fresh air into the Rolex Explorer replica collection, starting with the Explorer II replica. What there can be doubt about concerning this potential update will be the integration of a new movement. The current Explorer II 216570 replica features a GMT function and is powered by the Calibre 3187, an update of the Calibre 3186 found in the older GMT-Master II (mostly with a larger diameter, due to the different date position). In the same vein, this new Explorer II could be equipped with an update of the Calibre 3285 found in the latest generation GMT-Master II models. Once again, it would be slightly larger and could be named Calibre 3287. It will be equipped with the new Chronergy escapement and an extended power reserve of about 70 hours. This update will be indicated on the dial with the new “Swiss Made” logo with a central coronet.
The Dial
The replica Rolex Explorer II’s black dial is perhaps the sole area of the timepiece where this is only partly true. Sure, the legibility on offer here is profound – even the quickest of peeks at the stygian, satin-finished dial provides the wearer with all the information they need. But Rolex has also seen fit to adorn the dial with stylistic cues that aim to pay homage to the first-ever incarnation of the namesake, the Ref. 1655 “Freccione” or “Steve McQueen” Explorer II.
The base of the Mercedes handset and the iconic bright orange 24-hour hand are painted black, which creates the famed “phantom” effect and gives the impression that the hands are floating above the dial. It’s a well-judged effort by Rolex; homage can easily come across as pastiche, but it doesn’t on the Explorer II, it just works. And, more importantly, it doesn’t get in the way of the watch’s primary remit.
The oversized Mercedes handset is bold, as is the 24-hour hand, and they’re both filled with Rolex’s Chromalight lume. Likewise, the seconds hand, “maxi” style XL indices and centering arrow at 12 o’clock are also filled with the ultra bright blue lume – wear this watch in a dark room after being outside, and you’ll swear there’s a mini-rave on your wrist, replete with glow sticks. The date aperture, located at three o’clock, is capped with an Cyclops, so ascertaining the date is a breeze. The simple white minute track around the dial’s edge provides great contrast and is also very easy to read. Perhaps the only visible clue that this is a proper luxury item is Rolex’s signature rehaut, which is definitely not something you’d find on your average speleologist’s timepiece. The attractive dial is capped with sapphire crystal with an antireflective coating, which aids in legibility; especially on glary days spent exploring.
The Case
This is where the Rolex Explorer II replica really starts to flex its tool watch traits. The quintessential Oyster case is hewn from Oystersteel (904L steel). This steel is tougher than finding one of these watches at RRP. By contrast, most of the cases of most watches on the market are made with 316L steel. It’s a fine metal, and more than up to the task of serving as a good, reliable material for most timepieces. Compared to 904L, it may as well be clad iron. Oystersteel is a very, very impressive alloy, not only because of its high resistance to corrosion but also because of its presentation – whether it be polished or brushed, this metal is like no other, including its liquid-metal wrist feel. The comfort levels are unparalleled in steel.
In the case of the Explorer II, both the top of the lugs, as well as the fixed steel bezel, is brushed, which bolsters the watch’s rugged bravado. The flanks of the case and lugs, however, are polished to a gorgeous mirror finish, which provides a nice contrast and does heighten the overall feeling of quality. Dimensionally, as mentioned, the Explorer II replica measures in at 42mm across, which for some is simply too big. But, because the case is relatively slim at 12mm thick, it does wear smaller than you may think. In fact, the Explorer II is a full millimetre slimmer than a Submariner replica Ref.116610 … and you can tell. Unlike the Subby, though, the Explorer II is only waterproof to 100 metres. But wading through jungle streams is still on the table; it has a screw-down caseback and screw-down crown with Twinlock double waterproofness system. It can take more than just a splash or two.
The Bezel
An archetypical feature dating back all the way to the first Rolex Explorer II replica watch is the fixed steel bezel with 24-hour graduations. Working in conjunction with the orange 24-hour hand, the bezel allows wearers to ascertain a second time zone at a glance, and with minimal mental computations required. I like to utilise it as an indication of home time when travelling, freeing up the regular hour hand to adjust to local time. The bezel itself is handsome looking, and the fine radial brushing really does show off Rolex’s almost peerless metal work and attention to detail.
The Bracelet
Perhaps the most ubiquitous and iconic bracelet design of all time, Rolex’s Oyster Bracelet is a tri-linked piece of engineering and design brilliance. I cannot praise it highly enough, it’s the best in the game. Period. And the way Oystersteel feels on the wrist … it hits different. I challenge anyone to name a bracelet that feels better fastened to your wrist. The Explorer II’s Oyster bracelet is finished with vertical brushing on both its front and back, while the flanks are highly polished to a mirror finish that complements the side of the case and lugs. Interacting with the gorgeous bracelet is also a complete and utter joy, thanks to it being paired with Rolex’s Oysterlock deployant clasp with Easylink extension, which allows wearers to micro adjust the bracelet up to 5mm.
