CLEAN Factory C Factory 226570 Explorer II Prospex Black/White Dial with Dan Dong 3285 Movement

This release from CLEAN features the model 226570 Explorer II in black and white dial variants, powered by the Dan Dong 3285 movement. A key highlight is the use of the same caliber as the 126710, but specially enlarged for the 226710 case. Notably, the date window position differs from the 126710, a detail often inaccurately replicated in other versions on the market due to the niche status of the Explorer II, which has discouraged movement manufacturers from developing a dedicated size.

CLEAN spent over a year persuading the Dan Dong movement factory to custom-develop this larger 3285 movement, marking a significant advancement in replica accuracy. Additional distinctions between the 226570 and 216570 include:

– Movement upgrade
– Consistent 42mm case size
– Refined case design
– Updated hand styling
– Modified bezel font thickness

It’s worth noting that authentic black-dialed models, due to their production year, retain the older slim bezel font, while the white-dialed version—purchased in 2023—features the newer bold font.

The Explorer II remains a rare and distinctive timepiece within the entire Rolex lineup. Prior to CLEAN’s release, no truly satisfactory replica had been available. This launch sets a new benchmark, and we look forward to seeing more exceptional releases from CLEAN in the future.
