"Swiss " dial with Luminova.
Throughout the production of the Explorer II reference 16570 three different lume materials and letting on the dial were used. The earliest having Tritium and marked SWISS T<25. In late 1998 Rolex made the transition to Luminova and changed the dial lettering from SWISS T<25 to SWISS. This transitional dial was only used for about 1 year before Rolex changed to superluminova and "Swiss Made".
