Rolex Air King

About Rolex Air King Watches

The Rolex Air-King is a distinguished timepiece with a rich history that reflects Rolex's deep-rooted connection to aviation.

It was introduced in 1945 by founder Hans Wilsdorf and was part of a series of "Air" watches created to honor the courageous pilots of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) who served during World War II.

The collection included models like the Air-Lion, Air-Tiger, and Air-Giant; however, the Air-King is the only model from this series that remains in production today.

Rolex introduced this iconic line to offer a versatile and reliable timepiece that blends functionality with understated sophistication. From the classic vintage Rolex Air-King models to the modern Rolex Air King 2022 and Rolex Air King 2023, each piece carries the legacy of innovation that Rolex is known for.

At Time4Diamonds, we are proud to present a curated selection of Rolex Air King watches for sale, including pre-owned and vintage models.

Whether you’re looking for a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air King, a Rolex Air King vintage piece, or the sleek Rolex Air King 116900, our collection caters to every preference.

History of Rolex Air-King

The early Air-King models were characterised by their clean and straightforward design, featuring a stainless steel case and a clear, easy-to-read dial. These features are essential for pilots needing quick time checks during flight. Over the years, the Air-King has undergone several evolutions:

• Reference 5500 (1957 - 1989): The model solidified the Air-King's design with a 34mm stainless steel case, domed bezel, and an automatic movement. It became one of the longest-running references in Rolex's history.
• Reference 14000 Series (1989 - 2007): Introduced with a sapphire crystal and the Caliber 3000 movement, this series offered options like the engine-turned bezel (Reference 14010) and maintained the 34mm case size.
• Reference 114200 (2007 - 2014): The iteration marked the first time the Air-King received chronometer certification, featuring the Caliber 3130 movement and offering variations with smooth, engine-turned, or fluted bezels.
• Reference 116900 (2016 - Present): After a brief discontinuation, the Air-King returned with a bold new design, featuring a larger 40mm case, a distinctive black dial reminiscent of cockpit instruments, and the Caliber 3131 movement with anti-magnetic properties.
