Spring bars Rolex Exp II 226570 — 22mm × 1.5mm
Set of two spring bars for Rolex Explorer II reference 226570, in tempered Swiss Standard steel. Size: 22mm between the lugs. Pin 1.5mm. Blind lugs. The 226570 is the modern 42mm Explorer II introduced in 2021 — it replaces the 216570 with a revised case, calibre 3285 and new 22mm lugs.
The transition from the 216570 (21mm lugs) to the 226570 (22mm lugs) is a Rolex decision to better balance the 42mm case. The pin remains 1.5mm: the same modern specification as the Submariner 126610 and GMT 126710 — Rolex tends to standardise the pin diameter across its contemporary cases. Only the length of the spring bar changes.
The same spring bars on every client’s 226570. The same supplier.

Frequently asked questions
Are these spring bars suitable for my Explorer II 226570?
Yes. 22mm lug width, 1.5mm pin: these are the correct spring bars for the 226570, the 42mm Explorer II with calibre 3285 released in 2021.
Do they also fit the older Explorer II 216570?
No. The 216570 has 21mm lugs, while the 226570 has 22mm. Rolex changed the size between the two models, so these 22mm spring bars remain specific to the 226570.

1.5mm pin, the same specification Rolex uses on the Submariner 126610 and GMT 126710. Only the spring bar length changes depending on the case.

Hardened Swiss Standard steel. The set includes two spring bars with shouldered tips.
Are they the same for every customer with a 226570?
