Product Description
The Rolex Air-King 116900 was designed as a tribute to the pioneers of aviation and the golden age of flight, and it reflects this history in both its design and features.
The Air-King 116900 features a 40mm case made from 904L stainless steel with a polished finish. The watch is powered by the Caliber 3131 movement, which is entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. The movement is equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, which is known for its high resistance to shock and temperature fluctuations. It also also features a sapphire crystal, which is scratch-resistant and provides protection for the watch face. It is also water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
Our experts say that the standout feature of the Rolex Air-King 116900 is its black dial, which is both clean and elegant. The dial is punctuated by large hour markers and hands, which are filled with a luminescent material to improve legibility in low-light conditions. The Rolex crown logo is prominently featured at the 12:00 position. The timepiece was released on March 18th, 2016 at a retail price of $6,200.
