1655 Rolex
The Rolex 1655, often referred to as the Explorer II, debuted in 1971 as a tool watch designed specifically for spelunkers and adventurers needing to distinguish AM from PM in darkness. Its distinctive 24-hour orange hand and fixed bezel set it apart, making it instantly recognizable. At Grey and Patina, we appreciate the 1655 not just for its utility, but for its enduring charm and historical relevance in the world of vintage tool watches.
