Rolex has unveiled the new generation of the Air-King at this year’s Watch & Wonders with a completely redesigned case, including crown protection. This is the first major update to the Air-King collection since 2022, when replica rolex unveiled the familiar green-toned dial configuration that now defines the collection at that year’s Baselworld.
As with most models in the professional category, the sides of the Air-King are now straight. The proportions of the bracelet have also been revisited, with the central link in particular being widened. As a first for this model, it is now also equipped with an Oyster safety clasp.
Fans of the Air-King will also notice a change on the black dial. There is now a “0” in front of the “5” on the minute scale. As a result, each 5-minute interval is now marked by two digits, giving a more balanced layout.
The watch also benefits from an optimized Chromalight display that guarantees maximum readability in dark conditions. The hands and the triangular hour-markers at 12 o’clock are filled or coated with a new luminous material that provides a longer-lasting intense light. The 3, 6 and 9 numerals, previously made entirely of 18-carat white gold, can now also be seen in the dark.
The 40 mm Oyster steel case houses the caliber 3230, which, like all Rolex best swiss replica watches, carries the Super Chronometer certification, which includes a chronometer certificate from the C.O.S.C. Released in 2020 for the Air-King, it offers outstanding performance in terms of precision, power reserve (70 hours), resistance to shocks and magnetic fields, and reliability.
The Oyster Perpetual Air-King is equipped with an Oyster strap, a patented Oyster locking folding security clasp, and an Easylink extension that allows the wearer to easily adjust the length by approximately 5 mm. The watch retails at a rather affordable price.
