Hmmm.... same family?

The Explorer and Explorer II share the same name and instruction manual, but the similarity stops there. The Exp uses a 3130 movement while the GMT uses a 3185/3186 movement. ALthough different in name, the Explorer and Airking are more similar as they both use the same movement 3130 and they use the same bracelet with the midsize links.

So for generalization sake; the Exp II and GMT II are in the GMT family using the 3185/3186 movements, and the Explorer and the Airking are in the no date family using the same movement 3130.
