Rolex The New Air-King 40 126900 – NEW, Full set

Rolex’s ties to aviation stretch quite a bit farther back than most people realise.
On April 19, 1933, a Westland PV-6 and a Westland PV-3 – piloted by Sir Douglas Douglas-Hamilton and David McIntyre – made the first-ever flight over Everest. On each of the pilot’s wrists was a Rolex Oyster. 11 years later – in 1944 – Rolex launched its Air collection, which included the Air-Giant, the Air-Tiger, and the Air-Lion. All three watches proved very popular among British RAF pilots, who famously bought them out of their own pocket. When the war ended, Rolex released the Air-King in tribute to the pilots who had fought in the Battle of Britain.

The new Rolex Air-King (126900) on offer here is a highly anticipated timepiece from the iconic Swiss brand. This new iteration of the classic Air-King model features a 40 mm stainless steel case and a distinctive black dial with oversized 3, 6, and 9 numerals. The watch is powered by their in-house caliber 3230, a self-winding movement that provides exceptional accuracy, reliability and resistance to shocks and magnetic fields.
One of the standout features of the new Air-King 126900 is its contemporary design, which combines classic Rolex styling with modern touches. The classic black dial and bold numerals are highly legible and add a touch of sportiness to the watch, while the 904L steel construction ensures durability and longevity.
For those looking to add a new Rolex to their collection, the Rolex Air-King ref. 126900 is a highly attractive option. Its stylish design, exceptional quality, and iconic heritage make it a must-have for any watch enthusiast and collector alike.
