For what reason did Rolex introduced the POLAR dial to explorer 2 watches? Anyone knows this? Was just wondering

More legible than the black dial.

Was that the main reason? I havent found any historical information about it yet:( But indeed, it is extremely legible lol..

[ferrissteve11]

More options for the consumer and Rolex could release a 'new' model without having to really change any of their production or tooling ??

A white dial is just that a brass disc covered in white paint, and just a colour white that you will find on most all watch brands past and present today. And the colour white has no significance to the explorer or any white dial watch its just a colour..

I have been trying to figure out where you are from, can narrow out the US, we spell it color:-)

It clearly says he is from.. Location: Llanfairpwllgwyng.. Which is Welsh, so that is Wales, that's UK and we speak English.. and the correct way to spell colour is colour. We here in the UK invented the language, it is even named after our fellow countrymen (the English people in England)) so we should know! I have no idea why you guys in the US spell it color, but I image simply because you find it easier to spell.

Ho ho ho no patriotism here! The only right language is American and you spell it like Amewican.

Why do car companies come out with new color variations every model year?

Are you sure about that? I believe history would disagree. Up to the 5th century Celtic dialects were the predominant language in the "UK". It wasn't until Anglo-Saxon immigrants arrived speaking a Germanic language which became known as Old English. So it would appear that the English language originated from Germany, Denmark & the Netherlands. Outside of the "UK".

A little bit of a condescending shot don't you think. Nobody's calling you out on your spelling of "imagine".

True, but Rolex seems to do a lot of stuff ''with'' a reason rather than random i saw a video that claimed it was to honor the climb of mt everest or so, but i couldn't believe that story as i havent found any information anywhere however it seems that there is not reason in particular why they did so… By the way, i hope you all enjoy my spelling

It’s more efficient our way

I was told the white dial, black hands were designed to see better in the snow. I have no idea if there is any substance to such

After the watch designers come up with a new design that the executives approve, it goes to the Marketing Dept. whose job it is to weave a good story. There are probably enough golfers, tennis players and race car drivers to fit a watch into.

[slate1234]

Because they can , I just wish I could get a white face for the GMT make it much easier to see with my eyes.

[crazymcmichael]

Well i must admit that the design makes sense, if i wear my sub while driving an car it is much more difficult to quick check timee than when i wear my explorer 2 … you can read that machine from 3 miles away. I think the explorer 2 white might be one of the most legible watches ever made so…

Interesting... I just look at the clock that came with the car.

In my case this clock in car has a bug i think it is Always 1:13/15/16 or so minutes ahead anyway…. i never need to check time but in case off maybe putt the clock right once, or not.. will see.. ...

I kind of thought it was a nod towards those people that explore surrounded by snow

But who knows!?

..that was a typo.. imagine is correct. ..and as far as I know, English was first spoken in England (and it was so good, that it spread outward - we even speak it in Scotland) so if it was Germanic, they didn't start speaking it until they got here!

You folks got a lot wrong you know: Color is colour.. the back of a car is called the boot not a trunk - an elephant has a trunk, there is no similarity.. the front of a car is called the bonnet not the hood - a hood is attached to the back of your anorak (that's the jacket you wear in the rain). It's a car park, not a parking lot - wtf is a parking lot anyway? You park your car, it's a 'car park' ffs.. then you drive on the wrong side of the road too.. and a Fender is a guitar (and they are very good too)... and this is just driving related - there are a million and one other subjects..


Only messing with you guys, you know I love the Polar Explorer.
