Rolex Air-King

Among the highlights of the label is, among many others, the Air King collection, which lends the classic pilot's watch an entirely new charm. The collection's timepieces are certified as chronometers and impress with the legendary Air King lettering, which was developed specifically for the model back in the 1950s. Nostalgic designs, modern technology and supreme functionality – that is what awaits you with a men's watch from the Rolex Air King collection.

A Rolex classic with a long tradition and modern design

The Air King looks back on a history spanning more than 70 years. While many details of the watch have repeatedly been adapted to contemporary aesthetics and current tastes, the key features of the classic have been preserved.

Oyster Perpetual

Hardly any Rolex does without the two guarantors of success behind these timeless luxury watches. We are talking about the combination of a waterproof case and an automatic movement. And even though the Air King is a pilot's watch, the Oyster Perpetual was a must from the very beginning of the collection. After all, you never know where you'll land.

An entry into the world of true luxury watches

Since its first launch, the Air King has been regarded as a wonderful choice for a first Rolex. Little has changed in that respect – on the contrary. Today the Air King, relaunched in 2016 with a case diameter of 40 mm, is an excellent alternative to the Datejust 36, Datejust II or the Oyster Perpetual watches with diameters from 26 mm to 39 mm. Especially in the brand's entry-level segment, it is hard to get more Rolex than with the Air King.

The pilot's watch in tune with the times

With this innovative collection, Rolex once again proves that it has perfectly mastered the fine art of watchmaking. The new pilot's watch legend impresses with a stainless steel case as well as a polished bezel and a stylish Oyster bracelet. The bracelet is complemented by an Oysterclasp folding clasp that features a practical 5 mm Easylink extension. In terms of functions, the Air King collection meets all your requirements. The timepieces are equipped with extras such as luminous hour markers and hands – so you benefit from optimal legibility and receive a luxury watch that reinterprets the traditional pilot's watch in a modern way and with a legendary case.

The Air King case

Another special feature of the Rolex Air King is its case. It is waterproof to a depth of 100 meters and impresses with great robustness. An Oyster case is now standard on many of the crowned brand's models. The middle section of the characteristically shaped case is made from a solid block of 904L stainless steel and offers high corrosion resistance. Thanks to the wide bezel and the strongly domed sapphire crystal, the glass rises dome-like from the case in profile. The so-called Bubble Back case is likewise part of the brand's great heritage and already found favor back in the 1930s. Another special feature is the fluted case back of the Air King. It is hermetically screwed shut using a special key that only the watchmakers authorized by Rolex possess. The Caliber 3131 with which this exclusive pilot's watch is equipped also delights watch lovers all over the world. The mechanical movement features a self-winding mechanism and offers an exceptionally high degree of precision.
