Rolex Air King 116900 - 2019

The Rolex Air King, a model series that has existed since the mid-1940s, honors the role of aviation pioneers in the heyday of aviation.

With its 40mm Oystersteel case, the solid elements of the Oyster bracelet, the Oyster clasp and the striking black dial, the Rolex Air-King continues the aviation tradition of the original Rolex Oyster.

The dial of the Air-King is impressive, with enlarged numerals at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock and a unique minute scale. It bears the inscription "Air-King", which was specially designed for this model in the 1950s.

Air-King stands for the special relationship between Rolex and the aviation industry in the golden age. This period was characterized by the rapid development of aircraft performance, which led to major successes in conquering the skies and the first long-haul flight.
