Rolex Explorer II
The Explorer II is a two time watch. The fixed steel bezel carries a 24 hour scale, and since 1985 the 24 hour hand has been independently adjustable, so the wearer can keep a second time zone or simply tell 3 a.m. from 3 p.m. at a glance. Rolex has offered it with either a white or a black dial for most of that time.
The case stayed at 40mm for decades before growing to 42mm in 2011. The current version, introduced in 2021, runs the calibre 3285 with a 70 hour power reserve, Chromalight lume and 100 metres of water resistance in an Oystersteel case.
Aids to Navigation
ATON is the Coast Guard's term for the buoys, beacons and lights that mark safe water. Storms drag floating aids off their charted positions, so after heavy weather crews go out to verify each one and reset any that have moved, because a buoy out of position is a hazard in itself.
