You can tell the Palm Beach Winter Equestrian Festival is a class act from the moment you enter the event grounds – we’ve never seen so many official Rolex clocks in one place. Aside from the many examples outdoors and in the arena itself, the VIP clubhouse holds several more, including a display of time zones in locales favored by high-end equestrians.<\/p>\n\n\n

Thanks to Land Rover, we were suitably equipped with wheels in the form of the $108,000, 550 hp Jaguar F-Type R Convertible. And from Bob\u2019s vault we were sporting the Rolex Orange Hand Explorer II 216570<\/a>, an under-appreciated piece first created by Rolex in 2011 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the model.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rolex “Orange Hand” Explorer 216570<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though it pays homage to a design dating from 1971, the 216570 is one of the most modern, even avant-garde-looking Rolex watches, and with it Rolex has perfected the art of blending past and present. The original Explorer II 1655<\/a> is of course now called the “Steve McQueen” though he is not known to ever have worn one, and the updated 216570 has much of the original’s King of Cool panache thanks to the return of the orange 24-hour hand, originally designed to help polar and cave explorers distinguish night from day. The fact that it is not a diving watch like the Submariner, a pilot\u2019s watch like the GMT, or a racing model like the Daytona leaves the Explorer II out in the cold somewhat, for though we may all aspire to be divers, pilots or race car drivers, cave exploration isn\u2019t everyone’s cup of steel.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"The<\/a>

Did You Know…?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now here\u2019s something you probably didn\u2019t know: the 216570 can also be used as a solar compass for orientation during mountain-climbing expeditions \u2013 such as following in the bootsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary\u2019s famous Rolex-assisted ascent<\/a> of Mt. Everest in 1953, which gave the original Explorer its name. You just point the hour hand towards the sun while holding the watch horizontally, which results in the orange 24-hour hand indicating the north in the northern hemisphere, or the south in the southern hemisphere (but only when the hour and 24-hour hands are set to local time). Now this little-known feature makes the 216570 the closest real-life equivalent of one of the Rolexes modified with various gadgets for 007 by Q Branch in the Bond flicks.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"The<\/a>
The Rolex Explorer II 216570 is truly meant for those who are pushing the limits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What’s So Special?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main feature that makes the 42mm 216570 stand out in addition to its size is the smooth bezel, which lessens its appeal in the eyes of many who firmly believe Rolex sports watches look best with the iconic knurled-edge bezels which distinguish the Submariner and GMT (and related models). To our way of thinking the black dialed version is cooler than the white, and the fact that the smooth bezel beauty isn\u2019t as widely recognized adds to its allure. It drew a lot of appraising glances from the Palm Beach Winter Equestrian Festival<\/a> crowd, who tend to go in for special models such as white gold Daytonas and a fair amount of gold and steel combos. The Explorer II was a bit like the cool outsider crashing the party, who then becomes the life of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
