Rolex Air King

The Air-King model from Rolex is reminiscent of the time of the aviation pioneers and the heyday of aviation history, in which the Oyster played an important role. The Rolex Air King scores with a 40 millimeter case that protects a striking black dial. The Oyster bracelet is made of solid elements and is secured with an Oysterclasp. In this look, the Air-King model from Rolex appears functional as well as timelessly elegant. The Air King is adapted to the needs of today's owners, but remains faithful to the model from the 1950s from an aesthetic point of view. Luxury watches from Rolex are always appreciated in all their variety. However, the sentimental value of a Rolex is usually far greater than its material value. Whether as an heirloom, a generous gift or as a symbol of a success story - a Rolex chronograph often represents personal highlights that real life brings.

The special features of the Rolex Air King

The Rolex Air King watch model has enlarged numerals for three, six and nine o'clock on its black dial. The minute scale has also been designed to be distinctive so that navigation times can be read precisely. The classic Air-King lettering is based on the original exclusive design from the 1950s. The Oyster bracelet is as comfortable as it is robust and is ultimately the result of a perfect interplay of technology, functionality and aesthetics. The Oyster bracelet is reliably secured by an Oysterclasp. The Rolex Easylink extension system allows the bracelet to be extended comfortably and easily by around five centimeters to ensure optimal wearing comfort at all times.

Certified Swiss Chronometer - Luxury Watches from Rolex

Rolex luxury watches in general and the Rolex Air-King model in particular are certified Swiss chronometers. The Rolex Air King watch model has a caliber 3131. This is a mechanical movement equipped with an automatic self-winding mechanism. This was developed and manufactured entirely by the Rolex manufacture. Precision watches can only be described as certified if the Rolex luxury watches have been successfully tested for reliability by the independent testing institute COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres). The Rolex Air-King model, like all Rolex luxury watches, has a case made of 904L stainless steel. The latter is mainly used in the field of high technology, the chemical industry and aviation, as it ensures the highest level of corrosion resistance. The innovative superalloy impresses with its extreme hardness and can also be polished to a high gloss. 904L stainless steel retains its shine and beauty even under exceptional conditions.

Swiss watchmaking - the Rolex luxury watch manufacturer

Rolex is considered a pioneer in the design of wristwatches. The manufacturer is responsible for the development and manufacture of all relevant components for its wristwatches. This begins, for example, with the casting of the gold alloys, continues with the production and individual processing, and ends with the assembly and final production of the movements, cases and dials, as well as the respective bracelet. The newly developed Air-King model from Rolex reflects the intensive relationship between Rolex and the golden age of aviation in the 1930s. During this era, aircraft technology developed rapidly and enabled incredible performance, which soon allowed the first long-distance flights. Aviation pioneers such as the British Charles Douglas Barnard were absolutely enthusiastic about the Rolex Oyster and its suitability for aviation in terms of reliability and precision.
