![]() These changes included the sapphire crystal, a caliber 3085 movement with a double bridge, and a white dial in addition to the black dial model. Rolex introduced a new Explorer II in 1985, the 16550. ![]() The dial of the 6610 is signed ‘Chronometer’. Subsequently, Rolex replaced this with the 6610, which looked exactly the same, but had a flatter case back due to the new calibre 1030. Most of the early 6350 dials are also unusual in the fact that they are “honeycombed” textured and are signed “Officially certified Chronometer”. Rolex Explorer history shows that it was after the successful Everest expedition when Rolex finally added the word ‘Explorer’ on the 6350 dial. Upon the release of the Explorer, the references were 62 displaying the now famous Arabic numbers at 3,6 and 9. Originally, they had white dials and leaf shaped hands. Rolex produced prototypes in 1952 before the Explorer was widely available.
