The Explorer II 226570 is the most functional watch in the RRGI — a 42mm tool watch built for extreme environments, with an orange 24-hour hand for distinguishing day from night in polar conditions where the sun doesn't set. Introduced in 2021 with the upgraded Cal. 3285, the Explorer II has a quiet following among collectors who value technical purpose over grey market cachet. Its premium is moderate, its supply more accessible than most RRGI constituents, and its waiting list at ADs shorter than the Submariner or Daytona.
