Rolex Explorer II - Tough and Sleek

Explorer II Design and Technology The original model created by Rolex in 1953 for the ascent of Mt Everest that may appeal to purists and history buffs, is just a plain steel watch with a 36 mm black dial, a polished bezel, and an Oysterlock bracelet.

The Tag Heuer Link Automatic Chronograph, which contains Calibre 16 movements (also known as Valjoux 7750 or ETA 7750 – just different name from different manufacturers) have been made from 1973. I was unable to find any information that mechanism (movements) have been updated since 1973 but I have read that many other brands ‘cosmetically’ modify this movement to suit their usage. There is not much to say about the case. Whe
