The “Polar” nickname comes naturally, thanks to its crisp white dial which evokes imagery of icy, polar landscapes and red GMT hand designed for explorers above glaciers and below caves. This discontinued timepiece is now sought after for its thinner profile. With a fixed steel bezel and ability to track two time zones, it functions exactly as intended.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Features a rare bright white dial that pairs beautifully with the black outline of its luminous markers and the red GMT hand. Its brushed steel case and fixed bezel enhance its rugged character.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date, and GMT. Working together, the fixed 24-hour bezel and red GMT hand make it easy to track another time zone. 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.
With its iconic white dial, slimmer case, and dual-time functionality, the “Polar” has carved out a reputation as one of the most interesting Explorer IIs to collect. It has a profile and personality that newer versions don’t replicate.
