          Description

          Take to the skies

          With its 40 mm case in Oystersteel, solid-link Oyster bracelet, and distinctive black dial, the Air-King perpetuates the aeronautical heritage of the original Rolex Oyster.

           

          Black dial

          Navigational time readings

          The Air-King dial features a distinctive black dial with a combination of large 3, 6 and 9 numerals marking the hours and a prominent minute scale for navigational time readings.

          It bears the name Air-King in the same lettering that was designed specially for the model in the 1950s.

           
           

          Oystersteel

          Highly resistant to corrosion

          Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential.

          Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.

           

          The Oyster bracelet

          Alchemy of form and function

          The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology, designed to be both robust and comfortable. It is equipped with an Oysterlock folding clasp, which prevents accidental opening and the Easylink comfort extension link, also exclusive to Rolex.

          This ingenious system allows the wearer to increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, providing additional comfort in any circumstance.
