I was looking for a watch with a white dial, truly white, not silver, cream, or even light gray—ice white. A chance search led me back to the brand with the crown, and this model met my other requirements: a brushed bezel, GMT function, and a bracelet integrated into the case. Trying it on in the store was crucial, and I was immediately struck by the smoothness of the bracelet and its perfect harmony with the rest of the watch. Legibility is excellent, and using the GMT function while sedentary is quite appealing, especially considering the orange hand is the primary way to tell the time. On top of all that, the Explorer II reveals a truly striking nighttime appearance, with the added bonus of the markers retaining their color even in mixed or alternating light conditions. What Rolex does best: make watches, and they consistently demonstrate this.
