ARF Explorer II 226570 – 42mm
Dual Time Function · Fixed 24-Hour Bezel · Tool-Watch Precision
The Explorer II Ref. 226570 represents one of the most distinctive models in the Explorer family.
Designed as a professional tool watch, it emphasizes legibility, functionality, and durability rather than decorative luxury.
The ARF Explorer II 226570 is developed with the same philosophy. Instead of focusing solely on visual resemblance, ARF approaches this model through correct proportions, functional GMT logic, and realistic wearing experience, aiming to recreate the true character of the Explorer II.
1. Correct Case Size & Proportions
42mm Case · Balanced Tool-Watch Presence
The ARF Explorer II 226570 is produced with the correct 42mm case diameter, maintaining the strong yet balanced wrist presence expected from the Explorer II.
• Clean lug lines with precise transitions
• Proper side profile without excessive thickness
• Brushed and polished surfaces placed according to the original design
The result is a watch that feels purposeful and solid, without appearing bulky or overbuilt.
2. Fixed 24-Hour Bezel
Functional, Clear, and Durable
One of the defining features of the Explorer II is its fixed 24-hour engraved bezel, designed for practical GMT reading rather than visual flair.

• Engraving depth
• Font proportions
• Edge sharpness and finishing
This ensures the bezel remains highly legible under different lighting conditions, avoiding the shallow or blurred engravings commonly seen on lower-grade versions.
3. GMT Hand System
Iconic Orange Arrow · Practical Dual-Time Reading
The bright orange GMT hand is the visual and functional signature of the Explorer II.
On the ARF 226570:
• The color tone is accurately balanced for visibility without appearing overly bright
• The arrow shape and length are proportioned correctly
• The GMT hand aligns clearly with the 24-hour bezel for intuitive second time zone tracking
This setup allows the wearer to read local time and a second time zone at a glance.
4. Dial Layout
Black Dial & White “Polar” Dial – Same Structural Standard
The ARF Explorer II 226570 is available in both classic black dial and white Polar dial versions.
Both variants are built under the same structural and finishing standards.
• Clean hour marker alignment
• Correct hand lengths relative to the dial
• High legibility in both bright and low-light environments
The white dial offers maximum contrast and clarity, while the black dial provides a more understated and versatile daily look.
5. Bracelet & Wearing Comfort
Oyster-Style Bracelet · Stability for Daily Use
The watch is fitted with an Oyster-style three-link bracelet designed for durability and comfort.
• Well-proportioned links for a secure wrist fit
• Smoothly finished edges to prevent discomfort
• Balanced flexibility to avoid pinching or looseness
Combined with the case design, the bracelet ensures long-term comfort suitable for extended daily wear.
6. Overall Character
Built for Use, Not Display
The ARF Explorer II 226570 is not designed to impress through decorative elements or exaggerated specifications.
Its focus remains on the core values of the Explorer II line:
• Clear and intuitive time reading
• Reliable dual-time functionality
• Robust construction and balanced wearing feel
This makes it an ideal choice for users who prefer a low-profile, functional watch that performs consistently in everyday scenarios.
