Explorer II

Ref. 1655

Machine translation pending human review. Figures and sources match the original.

The original Explorer II, with a fixed 24-hour bezel and a large orange hand. Its 24-hour hand was linked to the hour hand, so it did not show an independent time zone.

Price unconfirmed

We only publish a price with a source and a date.

Why it matters

  • Orange 24-hour hand
  • Calibre 1575, the same as contemporary GMT-Masters
  • Sources give 39 or 40 mm
