Rolex Air-King
A watch that quietly left the stage a couple of years ago, was the Rolex Air-King. This watch, often considered to be as an entry-level Rolex watch, had its own following and a long history in the Rolex collection. The Air-King model name was the last one of many ‘Air’-models (Air Lion, Air Tiger and Air Giant in the 1930’s and 1940’s) and introduced in 1945. The Rolex Air-King reference that is perhaps best known is the 5500, which was in production for a long time.
After reading the history of this Rolex Air King watches replica, you can easily find it was a really nice timepiece that you can take into consideration. Actually, I was likely to recommend you one series of Rolex Air King watch replica, named Rolex Air-King 116900, which was the most famous among the Rolex Air King watches.
Rolex Air-King 116900
The new Rolex Air-King 116900 is perhaps one of the most confusing modern Rolex watches. The model name moved to 6 o’clock, like most other Rolex watches have. Rolex increased the case size from 34mm to a perfectly wearable 40mm case.
However, we need to see more details about this replica Rolex Air-King 116900 watch. Now, let’s see the details.
The Rolex Air King Black Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch have Stainless steel case with a stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet. Fixed stainless steel bezel. Black dial with silver-tone hands and Arabic numeral hour markers. Minute markers around the outer rim. Dial Type: Analog. Rolex calibre 3131 automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve. Scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Screw down crown. Solid case back. Case size: 40 mm. Round case shape. Oysterlock clasp. Water resistant for Original edition at 100 meters / 330 feet. Functions: hour, minute, second.
Milgauss Case
One of the other things that was quickly noticed is the shape of the case. It will immediately remind you of the 40mm Milgauss case. And that is correct. It is the same case as the Milgauss, which means the new Rolex Air-King 116900 is also protected against magnetic fields. The case (and bracelet) are made of the famous 904L grade stainless steel and has a beautiful satin finish. Where the Oyster bracelet on the Milgauss has a PCL (polished center link), the bracelet on the Rolex Air-King is all satin.
Rolex Air-King Dial
The dial of the new Rolex Air-King 116900 is what confused a lot of people, including me. Not only did Rolex move the Air-King logo to the lower part of the dial (the original Air-King in 1945 also had it at 6 o’clock), but they added a lot of Arabic numerals to the dial. Not only the typical ‘Explorer’ lay-out with Arabic 3, 6 and 9’clock markers are on there, the remaining hour markers go from ‘5’ to ’55’. A 60-minute scale, with interruption of the ‘Explorer’ markers. This remarkable dial lay-out is based on a pair of cockpit instruments that Rolex made in 2006 for a special project.
Concluding all factors into consideration, if you want to buy Rolex watches replica online, you should consider of owning this one. As it was not only 1:1 well cloned but also achieve AAA quality. No matter the case or the movement, or the other part of this replica Rolex watch, it never loses with the original watches.
