Condition Report:
The movement is in working condition at the time of cataloguing. All functions are working properly. The 24 hour hand is reacting under UV light, some craquelures within the lumes of it. The lumes have aged into a warm yellow colour and are not reacting under UV. The lumes have aged consistently against each other. The crystal with signs of wear throughout. The bezel with light surface wear and pinhead dings, some loss to the paint at places particularly towards 12 o'clock. The case with surface wear and minor pinhead dings throughout but is in good proportions. The lugs with some dinging and denting, particularly towards the lower right lug with a ding and the lower left lug with a dent to the corner. The case back with signs of wear and pinhead dings from the bracelet. Otherwise the watch is in good overall condition considering its age. The 78360 bracelet with 580 end links with light surface wear.
Catalogue Note:
Designed for cave explorers and scientists, the Explorer II launched in 1971 and enjoyed a production until 1984. A favourite among collectors for its eye catching orange arrow hand, the present example can be identified from a later production, featuring the text "T SWISS < 25 T" at the bottom of the dial and the lollipop seconds hand. The present watch charms the wrist with its vintage quality and is preserved in nice original condition with its box and papers.
