Rolex Airking 116900 green arrow watch from 2018 is the new polarized version of the famous Rolex model with its original warranty certificate card. A men's watch, women's compatible with a 40 mm steel case whose revival occurred in 2016 but whose first models were born at the time of the second world war, when the Rolex oyster Royal model was transformed and became waterproof. The Rolex oyster Royal model will be offered to the allied air forces without obtaining the expected success. Just after the war, the Rolex air-king 4925 will be designed to challenge the competition.

In 1953, with the Rolex Airking 6652, Rolex found the recipe that would make history: the characteristic silhouette of the Airking model was born. Rolex calibre 1030, baton indexes and silver dial will be the components of success, confirmed by the enthusiasm of the general public for the next evolution of the Rolex air king 5500, which will become one of the biggest best-sellers of the brand with the crown. It is in 2016 that the Rolex air king 116900 will appear, with an appearance totally in line with the range of modern Rolex watches, but with a box and a new and original appearance, halfway between a professional Rolex and a classic Rolex Datejust, with a little bad-boy side.

The watch presented here is a luxury watch with a self-winding bi-directional movement for men, Rolex 116900 oyster perpetual Airking in steel with a 40 mm case (a case identical to that of the Rolex Milgauss model). The movement is the Rolex calibre 3131 with 31 jewels, a movement-certified chronometer by the COSC of Geneva. This movement, after complete winding, is capable of a power reserve of forty-eight hours, its operating speed being twenty-eight thousand eight hundred vibrations per hour. The case, the dial, the movement and the crown are signed. The watch comes with its original Rolex certificate card. The original oyster-type bracelet is finished with a folding clasp to the brand's latest standards. Bracelet and folding clasp are both adjustable. The bracelet by adding or removing links, the folding clasp by adjusting the inner part of the buckle.

In terms of usage, this stunning achievement of Rolex watches will allow the Rolex air king 116900 to accompany you. In the evening, its classic lines and fabulous black dial with white and green inscriptions will allow you to display a casual chic profile, even dressed in black-tie. It is one of the most versatile models and especially the least common in the range of Rolex watches, which will not fail to surprise your evening neighbours. Whatever the situation, waterproof 100 meters, will be very useful in diving or during nautical or outdoor activities.

Regarding collections, this rare watch, whose production is about to be terminated, is one of the least distributed. With so few copies in circulation, its rating continues to increase in proportion to its attractiveness and rarity. This model, very atypical in the Rolex Airking family, is undoubtedly a model that will remain very popular in the world of collections and public auctions. On the other hand, its dial is reminiscent of a speedometer. Its tool-watch will allow it to fit into a collection of aviation or motor racing-themed watches without clashing with the subject's biggest icons.
