Product Description
The 16550 Explorer II, is a transitional model which bridged the gap between the 1655 and 16570. Rolex only produced the 16550 for about four years, from 1985 to 1989.
Notable differences are the rail dial, “fat” font used for the numbering in the bezel and newer calibre movement; allowing rapid date adjustment with the hour hand.
