\u00a0 The <\/span>Rolex Explorer II Reference 16570 \"Polar\" A-Series with a \"Swiss Only\" dial<\/strong> is a highly coveted \"neo-vintage\" configuration among watch enthusiasts and collectors.

  • \n
    Reference 16570 (\"Polar\"):<\/strong> The defining 5-digit generation of the 40mm Explorer II produced from 1989 to 2011. The \"Polar\" variant features a distinct white dial with high-contrast, black-outlined hands and hour markers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    \"A\" Serial Number:<\/strong> The letter \"A\" at the beginning of the serial number dates the production of the case specifically to 1999<\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    \"Swiss Only\" Dial:<\/strong> This is the ultimate collector detail for this era. Printed simply as \"SWISS\"<\/code> at the very bottom of the dial (6 o'clock position), it marks Rolex's brief 18-to-24-month transition (roughly late 1998 to early 2000) from radioactive Tritium lume to non-radioactive LumiNova<\/strong>. By late 1999\/2000, dials were updated again to read \"Swiss Made\" when Super-LumiNova took over.<\/span>\u00a0<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Full Set:<\/strong> This specifies that the watch is accompanied by all its original factory packaging, including the outer box, inner green box, instruction booklet, paper warranty certificate<\/strong> (bearing the matching \"A\" serial), and extra bracelet links.<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
