WHAT WE LOVE:

This Explorer II has something going on that can't be easily replicated by anything other than the march of time. The Tritium indices and hands of this watch, over the last 26 years have aged and discoloured in a way that provides an attractive contrast against the dial. Italian collectors noticed this phenomenon and dubbed it 'Chicchi di mais' or corn kernels.
