Swiss
watch producer Rolex deservedly holds icon status in the world of
luxury watches. Their level of accuracy is legendary, and every
timepiece they create possesses an unwavering elegance that surpasses
popular fashion.
Celebrate Rolex’s aeronautical heritage in style with this handsome Air-King timepiece.
The
black-colored dial references 1940s dial designs and it’s important to
note the unique rendering of the Rolex logo—a multicolored first with
the crown in gold color and Rolex in green. Furthermore, Air-King
appears above 6 o’clock in the original stylized 1950s font.
The
oversized 3, 6, and 9 bring a visual vibrancy to the dial and you’ll
find the Chromalight blue luminescence makes reading the time in low
light a breeze.
Constructed
of the highly corrosion-resistant Oystersteel 904L stainless steel, the
case measures 40 mm in diameter, a slim 11.6 mm in height, and rests
upon a solid link Oyster stainless steel bracelet with an Oysterlock
folding clasp.
Additional
features include a screw-down case back and winding crown with the
Twinlock double waterproof system for added safety, a water resistance
of 100 m / 10 atm, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
As
a self-winding automatic timepiece, the Rolex 3230 mechanical
manufacture caliber is running the show here. It delivers a 70-hour
power reserve and sports a stop seconds for accurate time setting.
Speaking of seconds, we especially enjoy the green seconds arm here. As a
