Nicknamed “Polar” – thanks to its arctic-white dial and rugged build, this version of the Explorer II was made for adventurers venturing into caves, glaciers, or just everyday chaos. Discontinued in 2011, this 40mm model has become a quiet favorite among collectors who appreciate its slimmer case, fixed steel bezel, and practical dual-time functionality.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. The white lacquered dial stands out with its contrasting black hour markers and the signature red 24-hour hand. Its brushed stainless steel case and fixed bezel give off a rugged, no-nonsense vibe, while the Oyster bracelet adds comfort and solid wrist presence with high-polished side links and brushed top surfaces.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date, and GMT. The fixed 24-hour bezel works in tandem with the red GMT hand, letting you track a second time zone without the need to rotate anything. The minute hand and date wheel can be adjusted using the screw-down crown on the right side of the watch. It also features bright green luminous hour markers and hands, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions.

Comes as a full set, including its original box and warranty documentation.

Hard-to-find status, the Explorer II “Polar” hits that rare balance of tool and collectible. For those who like their watches slim, functional, and a little off the beaten path, this one’s hard to beat.
