Rolex Explorer 1
Ref. 1655
This is a 1972 Rolex Explorer II, reference 1655, with an original black dial. It is offered in pre-owned condition and comes as a watch only, with no box or papers.
The reference 1655 was produced from 1971 through 1984 and was positioned as a professional instrument for environments where distinguishing day from night by a standard hour hand alone was impractical. The distinctive 24-hour hand, fixed bezel with 24-hour graduations, and bold dial layout set it apart from the rest of the Rolex sport lineup of the period.
Condition: Pre-owned with honest vintage character. The watch presents as a preserved rather than restored example. No cosmetic overworking is evident.
