About this reference
Rolex Explorer
The reference
The VS Factory Rolex Explorer II 226570 is a 1:1 super clone of the 42mm reference, built to mirror the original in both appearance and function. This version features a black dial and is powered by the DD3285 movement, a direct clone of the caliber found in the original. It represents VS Factory's commitment to high-detail replication, offering a close alternative for enthusiasts who appreciate the Explorer II's robust design and dual-time capability.
Build and movement
The watch measures 42mm in case diameter, matching the original 226570 reference. The case and bracelet are crafted from stainless steel, with a finish that replicates the original's mix of brushed and polished surfaces. The black dial includes luminous hour markers and hands, along with the signature 24-hour hand and fixed 24-hour bezel. The DD3285 movement provides hours, minutes, seconds, date, and GMT functions, operating at a frequency consistent with the original. The reference number 226570 is engraved between the lugs, and the bracelet features a secure clasp with the Rolex crown logo.
What sets this version apart
This black dial version stands out as the classic Explorer II configuration, offering maximum legibility and a versatile look. Unlike the polar white dial, the black dial provides a stark contrast for the orange 24-hour hand and white gold surrounds on the hour markers. The black dial is often favored for its understated appearance, making it suitable for both casual and formal wear. The 42mm case size gives it a substantial wrist presence, while the fixed 24-hour bezel and GMT function cater to travelers and those who need to track a second time zone.

Crystal
