The Air-King epitomizes Rolex’s privileged ties with the world of aviation during its golden age in the 1930s. The dial features a distinctive black dial with a combination of large 3, 6 and 9 numerals marking the hours and a prominent minute scale for navigational time readings. It bears the name Air-King in the same lettering that was designed specially for the model in the 1950s.
