Rolex 16570-4 Pre-Owned Explorer II Watch 40mm Year 2003 with Black Dial and Oystersteel Bracelet
The Rolex Pre-Owned Explorer II Watch 40mm from 2003 is a classic watch designed for clarity, durability, and everyday wear. Featuring a black dial, 24-hour bezel, Oystersteel construction, and Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens, this pre-owned timepiece delivers the rugged functionality the Explorer II line is known for. With its versatile 40mm case size and iconic Oyster bracelet, it offers a refined balance of performance and timeless style, making it a standout choice for collectors and watch enthusiasts alike.
Features
- 24-Hour Bezel - Reliability in the Toughest Conditions
The Explorer II is equipped with an additional 24-hour display; a dedicated hand circles the dial in 24 hours rather than the usual 12, pointing to a fixed bezel with 24 hour graduations. This function enables the wearer to distinguish the hours of the day from the hours of the night, an essential feature for those who venture into environments where darkness reigns supreme – such as in the depths of caves, or where the sun never sets – like the polar regions in summer. - Oystersteel - Highly Resistant to Corrosion
Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments. - The Oyster Bracelet - Alchemy of Form and Function
The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology, designed to be both robust and comfortable. It is equipped with an Oysterlock folding clasp, which prevents accidental opening and the Easylink comfort extension link, also exclusive to Rolex. This ingenious system allows the wearer to increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, providing additional comfort in any circumstance. - Cyclops Lens
Positioned at 3 o’clock, the iconic Cyclops lens magnifies the date window by 2.5 times. This feature is uniquely Rolex, making the date easy to read and adding a signature element to the design.
