The model we have here, reference 16570, was introduced in 1989 until 2011. Over the course of its production, this model has had 3 different types of dial, corresponding to the type of luminescent material used. The first generation featured tritium with the words “SWISS - T < 25” under the index at 6 o'clock until 1998. Rolex then adopted LumiNova, which is color-stable, non-fading and non-radioactive, and the wording under the 6 o'clock index became “Swiss”. Only one year later, in 1999, the latest generation, the one presented here, bears the words “Swiss Made” and indicates the presence of Super-LumiNova in place of LumiNova.
This model is the only one in the professional range with a white dial, hence the nickname “Polar”. It is equipped with the Rolex caliber 3185, an automatic GMT movement with quick-date function and a power reserve of around 50 hours.
The watch is delivered full set with box, outer-box, certificate of origin, manuals, tags and bezel protector.
