However, since many parts and details of the new reference have grown, the visual size does not seem that radical. Maybe Rolex wanted to push needed attention towards the Explorer II, hence the extra two millimeters?Ĥ2 millimeters may seem like a large watch. The Submariner and GMT models have been the favored siblings, but even these two models still offer a moderate case diameter of 40 millimeters. The Explorer II has never been the most popular reference made by the famed Swiss watch brand. In the last few years, we have seen more and more models with a tendency toward growth: Yacht-Master II and Sea-Dweller DeepSea both come in a case of 44 millimeter diameters, and now the Explorer II also offers a diameter of 42 millimeter. Rumor has it that the new Rolex Explorer II was ready for presentation in 2010, but that Rolex did not present this new face-lifted version of the sporty watch until 2011 – 40 years after the first Explorer II was launched.įor many years, Rolex has been respected as well as ridiculed for its conservative approach to case sizes: 40 millimeters seemed to be the biggest case diameter offered in the sports collection.
