Rolex Air-King 116900 40mm Black Dial Oystersteel Automatic watch Box & Papers

The Rolex Air-King Ref. 116900 represents the modern revival of one of Rolex’s longest-running aviation-inspired models. The Air-King line dates back to 1945, when Rolex introduced it to honor Royal Air Force pilots following World War II. For decades the model remained a simple, smaller dress-sport watch, but in 2016 Rolex reintroduced the Air-King with the reference 116900, giving it a much more contemporary presence. The watch features a 40mm Oystersteel case and a distinctive aviation-style dial with bold minute numerals and the classic 3-6-9 layout, inspired by cockpit instrumentation. Powering the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3131 automatic movement, a robust and highly reliable movement with anti-magnetic protection and Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer accuracy. With its unique dial design and connection to Rolex’s aviation heritage, the 116900 has become a distinctive modern entry in the brand’s professional lineup.
