Rolex Explorer ii 226570 White Dial 42MM Mens Super Clone

The Rolex Explorer II 226570 Polar is a rugged 42mm sports watch originally designed for adventurers and cave explorers. Introduced in 2021 with an updated Cal. 3285 movement, it features a pure white “Polar” dial, a fixed 24-hour bezel and an independent GMT hour hand for tracking day/night. Our high-grade Super Clone faithfully replicates the “Explorer II white dial” styling and functionality. It uses a Swiss-clone Caliber 3285 automatic engine (with ~72-hour reserve) that delivers all the genuine watch’s complications: centre hour/min/sec hands, orange 24h hand, plus instantaneous date and independent time-zone setting. The clone’s case and bracelet are in solid 904L oystersteel (just like the original) and come with the same Chromalight blue-lume markers. In other words, this Rolex Explorer 2 Super Clone looks, feels and performs almost like the real Polar Explorer II – an ideal choice for enthusiasts who want the Explorer II 42mm experience without the original’s multi-year waitlist or premium price.

Rolex 226570 Key Selling Points

• Exact 42mm Replica: The case is CNC-machined in 904L stainless steel (Rolex’s Oystersteel) to the genuine 42mm diameter and slim 12–12.5mm thickness, giving the same wrist presence as the real Explorer II.
• Swiss Clone Cal.3285: Fitted with a Swiss-made clone of Rolex’s 3285 movement, adjusted for stability (typical ±5 s/day accuracy) and a 70+ hour reserve. All functions work: an independently adjustable GMT hand, a date display (Cyclops-magnified), and stop-seconds for precise setting.
• Chromalight Luminous: Hour markers and hands use high-grade blue lume, matching the original’s Chromalight blue glow for long-lasting night visibility. The luminescence is vivid and uniform, just as on the factory Polar dial.
• True Polar White Dial: The replica’s dial is a crisp pure white (no yellow tint), with the same matte embossed texture and painted black indices as the genuine. Even the orange “EXPLORER II” text and 24h hand are faithfully reproduced.
• 904L Steel Bracelet: Features the iconic Rolex Oyster bracelet in 904L steel. Links are solid, with brushed outer links and polished center links, plus the Oysterlock clasp with a 5mm Easylink extension for micro-adjustment (the Explorer II does not use a glidelock system).
• Robust Construction: Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal (front and display back), a solid screw-down crown (Twinlock) and caseback. While the clone is polished to a high finish and has similar heft to the original, note it is only splash-resistant (not for serious diving) – the genuine is rated 100m.

Design & Performance

Movement Performance

The heart of this Super Clone is a modified Swiss automatic chronometer movement emulating Rolex’s Cal.3285. It runs at 4 Hz (28,800 vph) and features an instant date change and a 24‑hour hand with independent hour adjustment. In practice, this means the orange GMT hand can be set separately in one-hour jumps (just like on the genuine Explorer II). The clone movement is regulated precisely, and owners typically report accuracy within a few seconds per day under normal wear. It provides a generous power reserve (70–72 h per gen-spec) and wind­ing is smooth and consistent. The push–pull crown and rapid-set mechanism let you adjust the date and second time zone easily, matching the real watch’s convenience. In short, all functionality of the real Rolex 3285 engine is present – the only difference is that the clone is not COSC-certified.

Explorer II 226570 Exterior Build & Aesthetics

Visually, the Super Clone is virtually identical to the authentic Explorer II Polar. The 42.2 mm case has the same polished bevels and brushed surfaces as the Rolex, and the beefy lugs (now slightly slimmer than the previous gen) match the original 226570 profile. The bright white dial is spotless – real clones achieve a pure polar-white finish with a fine embossed texture. The printed text (“ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL”) and applied markers on our clone are razor-sharp, and the orange GMT hand color is carefully matched. Under the sapphire crystal, the cyclops magnifier enlarges the date as expected. All inscriptions on the inner rehaut (rolextxt) and caseback mimic the genuine. The bracelet’s links are solid steel with precisely machined edges, and the clasp’s Rolex crown logo and “OYSTERLOCK” engraving are deeply stamped. Overall, the fit and finish are extremely high-grade – so much so that even trained watchmakers often agree these 1:1 replicas look and feel like the real thing (as one review notes, “the bracelet feels great… I paid $821… arrives in 8 days. … feels about 95% as good!”).

FAQ

• Q: Is the clone’s GMT hand fully functional like the real 226570?
  A: Yes – the clone features an independently adjustable 24-hour hand (GMT function) just like the genuine Explorer II. This means you can set the orange hand forward or backward in one-hour increments to track a second time zone. The calendar and main hands then stay synchronized.

• Q: Does it use real Rolex 904L steel?
  A: The genuine Explorer II uses Rolex’s patented 904L “Oystersteel” for its case, which is highly corrosion-resistant. Top-quality clones (like this one) are made from 904L alloy as well or an equivalent, so they look and feel very similar. Our supplier explicitly states 904L for the case and bracelet. In daily wear, it is extremely durable – only a specialist could tell it apart from Rolex’s alloy.

• Q: How good is the lume on the replica?
  A: We use a Swiss-made blue Super-LumiNova that very closely matches Rolex’s Chromalight. In darkness, the clone’s hour markers and hands glow a bright blue (just like the original). One reviewer notes that the latest clones have “blue superlume applied for excellent low-light glow” – essentially indistinguishable from the real deal.

• Q: Can I go swimming with this watch?
  A: The authentic 226570 is rated to 100 m. The replica, however, is only splash-proof (about 10–30 m in practice). It can handle rain, hand-washing, etc., but we don’t recommend diving or prolonged water exposure. All clones lack Rolex’s pressure testing, so for safety, only treat it like a daily-wear sports watch, not a diver.
