Rolex Air-King

The Rolex Air‑King 116900 is a bold, functional sports watch with aviation‑inspired design. This 2024 example features the distinctive black dial, a 40mm Oystersteel case, and matching Oyster bracelet. It is in excellent condition and comes complete with full box and papers.

The case is made from Rolex’s corrosion‑resistant Oystersteel. It measures 40mm across with brushed lugs and polished case sides. The smooth steel bezel keeps the profile clean and balanced. The screw‑down crown helps ensure water resistance to 100 metres.

The dial is gloss black with bold white Arabic numerals at 5‑minute intervals, plus large 3, 6, and 9 hour markers. The bright green seconds hand and green Rolex logo give it a distinctive, sporty edge. Chromalight lume fills the hands and markers for long‑lasting low‑light readability.

The crystal is flat sapphire and scratch‑resistant. It sits flush within the bezel for a streamlined look.

Inside is the Rolex Calibre 3131 automatic movement. It is COSC‑certified and tested to Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer standard of −2/+2 seconds per day. It features a Parachrom hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers, and anti‑magnetic shielding. The power reserve is approximately 48 hours.

The bracelet is the solid‑link Oyster in brushed steel with polished edges. It closes with an Oysterlock clasp and features the Easylink extension for quick comfort adjustments.

This watch is in excellent condition. The case is sharp, the bezel unmarked, and the bracelet tight. The crystal and dial are flawless. The movement has been tested and runs perfectly.

The Rolex Air‑King 116900 with black dial is unique within the brand’s professional line. It blends Rolex precision with pilot‑inspired style, making it both a functional tool and a statement piece. This 2024 full set is complete, correct, and ready to wear or collect.
