Celebrating The Pioneers Of Aviation
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King

The Oyster Perpetual Air-King symbolises the privileged relationship between Rolex and flying during the golden age of aviation in the 1930s. It pays tribute to the pilots of the era and the Oyster's role in their epic story in a period when spectacular progress in aircraft performance constantly expanded humanity's capacity to conquer the skies and led to the introduction of long-distance flights. Several pilots set records while wearing an Oyster.

The name 'Air-King' has featured on the dial since its launch in 1958, in lettering that makes the model immediately recognisable. Since 2016, the Air-King has had a distinctive black dial with a combination of large 3, 6 and 9 numerals marking the hours and a prominent minutes scale for optimal navigational time readings. The green seconds hand echoes the brand's emblematic colour.
