The latest offering from the Clean Factory is the exciting 226570 Explorer II replica, available in both black and white dial options. A standout feature of this release is the integration of the 3285 movement, which is of the same caliber as found in the 126710 model. However, what sets this movement apart in the 226570 is its larger size, which results in a distinctive calendar position. Unlike the existing versions on the market, the Clean Factory has taken the time and effort, spanning over a year, to collaborate with Dandong to develop this unique dimension for the movement.

There are notable differences between the 226570 and the older 216570 model, including changes in the movement size, case structure, hand design, and the thickness of the font on the bezel. Specifically, the black dial retains the thinner font style due to its vintage nature, while the white dial features a bolder font introduced with the 2023 purchase.

The Explorer II holds a special place within the Rolex family, being somewhat unique and less mainstream. Before the Clean Factory’s release, finding a near-perfect version was challenging. This model fills that gap and sets a new standard, encouraging collectors and enthusiasts alike to look forward to more innovative products from Clean in the future.
