Rolex Explorer II 226570 “Black”: VSF Ultimate Edition (3285)
The stealth explorer. Featuring the Matte Black Dial, Ghost Hands, and the industry-best Dandong 3285 Movement.
Why the VSF Explorer II Black?
The black dial Explorer II offers a sleeker, more tactical look than its Polar sibling. VSF captures the specific matte texture of the dial and the “phantom” effect of the hands perfectly.
- ✅ Dandong 3285 Movement: The only movement with a true 72-hour power reserve and correct “True GMT” function (independent hour hand). It is the most stable movement available.
- ✅ Matte Black Dial: VSF replicates the satin-like matte finish of the gen dial, which ensures zero glare and maximum legibility.
- ✅ “Ghost” Hands: The base of the hands is painted black to blend with the dial, creating the illusion that the hands are floating. VSF executes this paint application cleanly.
