In revisiting the Golden Age of aviation, the new Rolex Air-King brandishes a completely new aesthetic.
It’s tough being the Rolex Air-King. despite its illustrious heritage, most people only think about the GMT-Master II when they’re looking for a Rolex aviation watch. some might bring up the sky-dweller but only if hard pressed, and only the truest of Rolex aficionados will remember the Air-King.
You could hardly blame them, though. The GMT-Master II is a pretty hard act to follow, especially after all that fervour surrounding the red-and-blue Pepsi Cerachrom bezel. on hindsight, it appears to be a wise decision for Rolex to only offer it in white gold, because had it been available in steel, their phone lines are going to be burning hotter than the furnaces used to sinter the Cerachrom bezels. But we digress.
