Rolex Explorer II

Description

The story of the Rolex Explorer ii begins in the early 1970s, a time when mankind was pushing back the frontiers of exploration: space, the depths of the ocean, the bowels of the Earth – no exploratory path was neglected, and above all, economic development meant that society was opening up to travel. . . For the majority, it’s the discovery of new horizons and the opportunity to practice new sports and discover new elements: the Explorer is definitely the explorer’s watch. It travelled on the wrist of Norwegian adventurer Nils Lund during the Rondespiret expedition to the southern part of Rondane in Antarctica in 1996/97. The Explorer i was the first watch to reach the summit of Everest, and the Explorer ii was the first to climb the 2,427-metre Rondespiret, under extreme conditions and return as good as new. A superb watch with a unique history!
