Rolex Air King

The Rolex Air-King 116900 is a contemporary homage to one of Rolex’s most storied collections, blending classic aviation-inspired design with modern engineering. Introduced in 2016, this model revives the Air-King name, which has a rich history dating back to the 1940s when it was originally conceived as a tribute to the brave pilots of the Royal Air Force during World War II. The 116900 features a 40mm Oystersteel case, crafted from Rolex’s proprietary 904L stainless steel, known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and ability to maintain a polished finish. The robust case is paired with a smooth, domed bezel, giving the watch a sleek, aerodynamic appearance that echoes its aviation roots.
