Rolex 116900 Air-King Oyster Perpetual Black Dial Men’s Luxury Watch

Rolex 116900 Air-King Oyster Perpetual Black Dial Men’s Luxury Watch

“A HOMAGE TO AVIATION”

The Rolex Air-King pays tribute to the pioneers of flight and the Oyster’s role in the epic story of aviation. Moreover, Rolex Air-King – still remains one of the longest-running production models within Rolex’s modern lineup. In fact, the other two are the iconic Datejust and also the original Oyster Perpetual rivaling it for longevity. But, Rolex released the Air-King, like the Datejust, back in 1945. In fact, the watch becomes the part of a larger collection of “Air” models meant to honor the British Royal Air Force for their service during the 1930s and ‘40s. This collection also included an Air-Lion, Air-Tiger, and Air-Giant. Until 1953, Rolex Air-King outlasted its three fellows “Air” watches. It happened with the “transitional” Ref. 6552 model. Then, in 1957, with the appearance of the Air-King Ref. 5500, finally the model acquired its familiar modern aesthetic.

Since then, the Air-King positioned itself as one of the more affordable options within the Rolex portfolio. And, after being briefly discontinued in 2014, resurrected in 2016 as the Ref. 116900. Today’s model features a 40-mm steel Oyster case, with a screw-down crown and comes together with an oyster 

The Movement – Rolex Caliber 3131

The Air-King version uses the automatic Rolex Caliber 3131. It’s base come from Rolex Caliber 3130- almost the same movement currently used for the Rolex Milgauss, which stores a 48-hour power reserve. Also, comes as a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 3131 Caliber comes as a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests – though versions without also exist. It fits with a Parachrom hairspring, offering greater resistance to shocks and to temperature variations. Its architecture, in common with all Oyster watch movements, makes it singularly reliable.
