Description

An update to the brand’s most esoteric steel sports watch, the Air-King. Today, the Crown has unveiled what looks to be the exact same model as it’s been over the last six years. It comes housed in the same 40mm stainless steel case as it always has, with the satin brushed Oyster bracelet, and EasyLink Oyster clasp. It has the same black dial, with yellow and green flourishes for the logo and wordmarks, and the same aviation-inspired numerals. It even has the same three, six, and nine applied numeral-set a la the Rolex Explorer.

The next difference is in those applied numerals. They’re now filled with luminescent Chromalight material (much like Rolex did when it updated the 39mm Explorer model, years back), making the watch much more legible than its previous incarnation.

Rolex has also gone and equipped this watch with its in-house caliber 3230 movement, first released in 2020. It features the brand’s patented Chronergy escapement and 70 hours of power reserve.

On offer today is a timepiece from 2023, in Excellent condition, with full box and papers.
