The 1655 Explorer is instantly recognizable from its bright orange 24 hour hand and steel 24 hour bezel. Rolex came out with this model in 1971 and it was specifically made for cave explorers. The purpose of the orange 24 hour hand is to help the wearer distinguish day vs night in environments where this isn't easily noticeable, like in a cave with complete darkness.
This example is of the Mark 1 variety, characterized by the "straight" seconds hand and specific coronet to name a couple details. These early "straight" hand Explorers are highly sought after by collectors and give the already unique model an even more distinct look.
SO FAR SO GREAT. A VERY NICE LOOKING CLEAN WATCH. HAS BEEN WORKING ACCURATELY.
