Rolex gets to the point with the straightforward design of the Rolex Explorer II — that it is a watch of lasting durability and performance, exhibited by the strength of 904L steel from which it is crafted. Usually utilized in chemical laboratories, the 904L steel is extremely resistant to corrosion and highly polishable. These traits make the Rolex Explorer II suitable either for deep cave exploration where air is damp and corrosive, or a high-class social function where the demand for style and elegance is a must. The Rolex Explorer II’s 24-hour bezel is luminous and exceedingly visible even in the dark, and together with the 24-hour hand, the timepiece enables the wearer to distinguish AM from PM.

Internally, the Rolex Explorer II is just as tough as it looks externally. The self-winding chronometer movement that powers the entire timepiece is certified by the COSC, ensuring accuracy and performance that will last even when exposed in the harshest of environmental conditions. A smooth and durable sapphire crystal guards the Rolex Explorer II from scratches and dust intrusion, and a distinctive Cyclops lens is set by the 3 o’clock position to magnify the date numeral underneath. Perpetuating the Oyster quality of the Rolex Explorer II is a hermetically sealed caseback, rendering the timepiece waterproof for up to a depth of 330 feet.

The sense of toughness and determination seen in the Rolex Explorer II can be seen in actor Jason Ritter. Best known for his role as Kevin Girardi in the television series Joan of Arcadia, Jason Ritter’s sensitive and touching portrayal of a paraplegic hoping to become a news anchor accorded the then-25 year old international recognition. Jason Ritter has gone on to perform in notable film productions including Raise Your Voice, Happy Endings, The Wicker Man, W., and The Perfect Age of Rock n’ Roll. Jason Ritter is set to be in the movie Morning with Laura Linney, and A Bag of Hammers with Jake Sandvig and Chandler Canterbury.
