Introduction and Launch: The Rolex calibre 3187, introduced in 2011, is a self-winding mechanical movement designed and manufactured entirely in-house by Rolex. It powers the Explorer II Ref. 216570, replacing the previous calibre 3186. Built for durability, the 3187 features a Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, enhancing its resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. It also includes a date function and an independently adjustable GMT hand, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone. With its precision and reliability, the calibre 3187 perfectly complements the rugged nature of the 42 mm Explorer II.
