Speeed’s take
A watch built for a genuine problem: at the poles, day and night last for months, so the fixed 24-hour bezel and extra hand tell you which one you're in. You do not have to go to the North Pole to find that fascinating — that's the whole argument of the video.
“The Rolex Explorer II has a fixed 24-hour bezel to distinguish day and night in perpetual darkness and daylight, because in polar environments where they wore this watch, the days and the nights last for months.”
