Description
The Rolex Explorer II reference 1655 was the first Explorer II. It has a unique look in the history of Rolex watches, with its orange colored 24 hour second timezone hand, steel bezel with 24 hour scale and the hands and dial on the 1655 are unique to this model. This watch is in mint+ condition and just look at hor bright the orange 24 hour hand is. Usually, the orange has faded.
Original mint+ condition stainless steel case measures 38mm diameter by 14mm thick. The bezel has an engraved and brush finished 24 hour scale with black numbers. Screw down crown is operating perfectly. Acrylic crystal with cyclops. The case number is 6347XXX dates production to 1979.
Authentic untouched black dial and hands are in perfect condition. They have a crispness normally lacking in vintage Explorer IIs.
Rolex automatic winding Caliber 1575, derived from the Caliber 1570 - arguably the best large series production automatic movement by any manufacturer, ever. This movement is known to keep time to within one or two seconds per day, even after 30+ years of service. The 1575 provides 24 hour GMT timekeeping and date, in addition to hours, minutes and seconds. Movement is clean and running.
Bracelet is the model 78360 heavy link Rolex Oyster bracelet with non- flip-lock clasp. Bracelet has 13 links and, like the watch, is in mint+ condition with no stretch.
