The Rolex Air-King has a rich history that dates back to the 1950s. Originally launched in the aftermath of World War II, the Air-King was designed to honor the Royal Air Force pilots who served during the conflict. The series has undergone several updates and modifications over the years, each iteration maintaining the watch’s commitment to precision timekeeping and aviation heritage. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Air-King models featured a distinctive logo of a stylized airplane on the dial. The collection has seen changes in case sizes, movements, and design elements throughout its evolution. In 2016, Rolex introduced a new Air-King model (Ref. 116900) with a larger 40mm case, a bold black dial, and distinctive green accents. The Rolex Air-King continues to be a testament to the brand’s dedication to aviation history and timeless design.
