Rolex Air King 40mm - Black Dial - 116900

The Rolex Air-King Ref. 116900 is Rolex’s modern aviation-inspired tool watch, defined by its instrument-style dial and antimagnetic architecture borrowed from the Milgauss. The 40 mm Oystersteel case is paired with a smooth fixed bezel, while the black dial uses a mixed layout of applied and printed elements: applied 3, 6, and 9 numerals anchor the hours, and the remaining dial is calibrated with printed five-minute markings like 5, 10, 20, and 25 for quick reading. The design is finished with a yellow Rolex crown at 12 o’clock, a green Rolex wordmark, and a green seconds hand, all signatures of this reference.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3131, an automatic movement engineered with antimagnetic components for improved resistance to magnetic fields and shock. The Oyster bracelet provides a secure, comfortable fit and reinforces the Air-King’s utilitarian character. This example fits a wrist up to 7.35 inches.

Condition Notes: This Rolex Air-King Ref. 116900 is in excellent pre-owned condition with very light hairline scratches and slight dimples on the lugs and light scratches on the buckle. These marks are minimal and consistent with careful wear. Box and papers included, dated 2019.
