The Watch: The Rolex Air-King 116900 reimagines one of Rolex’s most historic names with a modern case, updated movement, and bold new dial. Originally created to honor RAF pilots in the 1940s, the Air-King has always had strong aviation ties—but this version leans into them with full force.
The 40mm case borrows the same anti-magnetic construction as the Milgauss, including a Faraday cage to protect against electromagnetic interference. The dial is distinctively Rolex: crisp black with a mix of Arabic numerals and white minute markers in a pilot-inspired layout, plus a vibrant green seconds hand and yellow crown logo that give it a pop of color you won’t find elsewhere in the lineup.
Inside beats the Rolex Caliber 3131, a chronometer-certified movement with 48 hours of power reserve and anti-magnetic tech, offering the precision and durability you expect from the crown.
Condition: Very good pre-owned condition with light wear on the bezel and bracelet. See photos.
