The legendary Rolex Explorer II 1655, often referred to as the “Steve McQueen” or “Freccione,” is a cult classic among vintage Rolex enthusiasts. Originally introduced in the 1970s, this model was designed for professional cave explorers, offering a unique 24-hour hand and fixed bezel for distinguishing day from night in dark environments.

This particular reference features a distinctive black dial with bold tritium hour markers and the iconic large orange 24-hour hand. The 40mm stainless steel case is paired with the robust Oyster bracelet, creating a tool-watch aesthetic that remains timeless. Inside, it’s powered by the Caliber 1575 automatic movement, known for its reliability and precision.

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Rolex history, this watch is offered in excellent condition and comes backed by a 2-year Chrononation warranty. A true grail for collectors of vintage Rolex sports models.
