Rolex

In 1971, Rolex introduced the very first version of the Explorer II: reference 1655. At the time of its release, Rolex watches weren't perceived as the status symbols they are today. The Explorer II 1655 was specifically geared towards cave explorers, intended more as a tool watch than a luxury item. Today, the Rolex Explorer II 1655 is considered somewhat of an outlier in Rolex's history. Despite being explicitly made for cave explorers, it was endorsed by actors and professional athletes. While its sales were disappointing during production, it's now among the most sought-after and rare vintage Rolex references.
