A vintage 34mm Air-King or the modern 40mm: tell us about yours and we’ll email and text you a price.
The Air-King was introduced in 1945, one of Rolex’s “Air” watches honouring the pilots of the Second World War, many of whom had bought Rolex watches privately. It is the only one of that series still made.

The Rolex Air-King
For decades it was a simple, 34mm or smaller time-only watch. The modern Air-King is 40mm, and its dial pays homage to the counter Rolex made for the Bloodhound SSC land speed record car.
What we look at
Era
Vintage references such as the 5500, 34mm references such as the 14000 and 114200, or the 40mm 116900 and 126900.
Dial
Dials vary a great deal, including special and engraved editions. A clear photo of the dial helps most.
Condition
Tell us about any marks, polishing or replaced parts.
Box, papers and extras
