Rolex Polar
The Rolex Polar, a distinctive variant of the Explorer II, is known for its crisp white dial that evokes the icy landscapes explorers might traverse. Introduced in 1985, the Polar has become a favorite among adventurers and watch enthusiasts alike. The white dial offers a stark contrast to the black hour markers and hands, which are filled with Chromalight for long-lasting luminescence, ensuring excellent readability even in low-light conditions.
The Explorer II was originally designed for spelunkers and adventurers who needed to keep track of time in environments where it was difficult to distinguish between day and night. The Rolex Polar’s additional 24-hour hand and fixed bezel with 24-hour markings allow wearers to differentiate between AM and PM, making it an essential tool for those in extreme conditions. The robust 42mm Oyster case provides exceptional durability and is water-resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet), ensuring reliability in harsh environments.
Powering the Rolex Polar is the Caliber 3187 movement, a self-winding mechanical movement known for its precision and reliability. This movement includes a Paraflex shock absorber and a Parachrom hairspring, enhancing its resistance to shocks and temperature variations. The Polar’s combination of functional design, robust construction, and advanced technology has made it a highly respected model in the Rolex lineup, ideal for those who seek adventure and need a watch that can keep up with their demanding lifestyle.
Key Features:
- Dial: Crisp white with Chromalight-coated hour markers and hands for enhanced readability.
- Bezel: Fixed bezel with 24-hour markings to distinguish between AM and PM.
- Case: 42mm Oyster case, providing durability and water resistance.
- Movement: Rolex Caliber 3187 with Paraflex shock absorbers and Parachrom hairspring.
