The Clean Factory has unveiled a remarkable addition to their collection: the 226570 Explorer II, available in black and white dials. This watch stands out not only for its elegant design but primarily for its movement. The 226570 is equipped with the 3285 movement, the same caliber as the 126710, yet it boasts a larger dimension tailored specifically for this model.

A notable distinction lies in the date position. Unlike the 126710, the position on the 226570 has been accurately developed, addressing a common flaw in current market versions, where the date placement has been traditionally incorrect due to the niche appeal of the Explorer II. This watch’s precise engineering is the result of over a year of development as Clean Factory collaborated with the Dandong movement manufacturer to craft this specific size.

Another distinguishing feature is the bezel font differences. The differences between the 226570 and the previous 216570 model are significant, spanning across the movement, case size (both being 42mm), and variations in the hand and bezel font thickness. The black dial maintains the classic thinner font due to its model year, while the white dial, a 2023 purchase, showcases a bolder style.

The Explorer II is an exceptional timepiece within the Rolex collection, offering a unique presence that collectors cherish. Prior to Clean Factory’s introduction, finding a nearly perfect version was a challenging task. The anticipation is high for Clean Factory’s future releases, as they continue to enhance and elevate their portfolio of exquisite watches.
