Detailed Features & Upgrades
-
Flawless Black Dial Execution:The deep matte black surface is engineered to eliminate glare. It features applied hour markers and hands with precise 18K white gold plating—all filled with premium Chromalight for a powerful, long-lasting blue glow. Combined with the high-visibility orange GMT hand, it provides maximum legibility in any environment.
-
True GMT DD3285 Movement:Beating inside is VSF’s custom DD3285 super clone. This movement perfectly mirrors the genuine architecture, featuring a true independent jumping local hour hand. This function allows the wearer to adjust the local time in one-hour increments forward or backward without stopping the seconds hand, which is essential for accurate multi-time zone tracking.
-
Robust 42mm Proportions:The 42mm case provides a substantial, highly capable wrist presence fitting for a dedicated tool watch. VSF has accurately replicated the exacting tolerances of the 226570 generation, featuring a seamless brushed finish on the lugs and high-polish flanks crafted entirely from authentic 904L steel.
-
Precision Engraved Bezel:The fixed, sunburst-brushed 904L steel bezel is the defining architectural element of the Explorer II. VSF has executed the deep 24-hour CNC engravings with absolute precision, filling them with fade-resistant black enamel to accurately track day/night hours or a secondary global time zone alongside the orange GMT hand.
-
Rugged Fully Brushed Oyster Bracelet:True to its utilitarian heritage, the solid 904L steel Oyster bracelet is fully satin-brushed to conceal the marks of an active lifestyle. VSF has accurately replicated the substantial weight and taper of the bracelet, complete with the secure Oysterlock safety clasp and the 5mm Easylink comfort extension for rapid micro-adjustments.
