Introduced in 1971 for cave explorers and polar adventurers who needed to distinguish day from night in environments where natural light is absent, the Explorer II is a 42mm Oystersteel professional tool watch measuring 13mm in thickness. The matte black dial presents applied Chromalight luminescent baton-style hour markers and Mercedes hands, with a bold orange 24-hour hand sweeping continuously around the dial — pointing to the fixed 24-hour graduated bezel to indicate day or night at a glance, and simultaneously functioning as a second time zone reference. A date window with Cyclops magnification sits at 3 o'clock. The solid Oyster case with screw-down Triplock crown provides water resistance to 100 meters. Presented on an Oystersteel Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock folding safety clasp and Easylink 5mm comfort extension system. Retailing at 11,550 USD, this example is offered below current retail. The in-house 3285 is a self-winding movement featuring the Chronergy escapement, blue Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers, containing 31 jewels, certified as a Superlative Chronometer to −2/+2 seconds per day, and delivering approximately 70 hours of power reserve, water-resistant to 100 meters.
