First launched in 1971 specifically for speleologists (cave explorers), the Rolex Explorer II spent much of its history as one of the more overlooked sports watches from the brand’s lineup. However, that has all changed in more recent years.
Our Vintage of the Week is a Rolex Explorer 1016, circa 1966. With a service dial and hands, and original Oyster rivet bracelet, this week's pick offers an excellent value and a quintessential vintage vibe.
