Its Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert was a first for Rolex, and the new case profile - squared off and sheer - would become known as there "super case" among Rolex collectors. The Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN launched at Baselworld 2008 as the steel variant of Rolex's pilot's watch. A Rolex caliber 3187 automatically provides 48 hours of power reserve, COSC Swiss chronometer precision, and toughness worthy of a Rolex Submariner.
This Explorer II 216570 launched at Baselworld 2011 on the 40th anniversary of the 1971 1655. The Rolex Explorer 2 is a loving 21st century tribute to the Rolex Explorer II 1655 "Steve McQueen." True, Steve McQueen likely never wore a 1655, but the nomenclature nicely describes the vintage Rolex "Orange Arrow" dial style exemplified on this Explorer 2 the "Polar" white dial arrived with the Rolex 16550 during the mid 1980s. Although mechanically similar, both composed of stainless steel, and only 2mm distinct in size, these two Rolex sports watches are worlds removed in character and style. Two Rolex watches face-off as we compare the Rolex GMT Master 2 116710LN to the Rolex Explorer 2 216570.
