History Facts
The Rolex Explorer II was made to address one very specific problem.
As you may have noticed it features an extra orange colored 24-hour hand, which is referred to as the 'Freccione' or 'Big Arrow'.
Next to that it also has an engraved 24-hour scaled bezel, in this case an Mk1 bezel.
And because of this bezel; the lucky explorer can prevent losing all notion of time by being able to distinguish night from day during his or hers explorations to the far North where the sun might not pop up for months on end.
