Rolex Air-King 40 – 116900 – Black Dial – Oyster Bracelet
Aviation Heritage. Zero Compromise.
The Rolex Air-King 116900 is one of the most underrated references in the modern Rolex lineup—and one of the most visually distinctive. The bold black dial with oversized Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9, contrasting yellow and green accents, and the iconic "Air-King" script make this one of the few Rolex watches that truly stands apart from the rest of the catalog. It doesn't try to blend in, and that's exactly the point.
Powered by the Rolex Caliber 3131—built with a Paraflex shock absorber and Parachrom hairspring specifically engineered to resist magnetic fields—this is a purposeful, tool-oriented movement in a purposeful, tool-oriented watch.
Specifications:
40mm Oystersteel case
Smooth bezel
Black dial with yellow and green accents, oversized Arabic numerals
Rolex Caliber 3131 automatic movement with Parachrom hairspring
Sapphire crystal
Oyster bracelet with Easylink comfort extension
100m water resistance
Condition Assessment: Great pre-owned condition. Case and bracelet show light signs of wear consistent with careful use. Dial and crystal are clean and sharp with nothing notable to call out. Movement running smoothly within Rolex specifications.
The Appeal: The Air-King is one of the last truly accessible entry points into modern Rolex sport watches—distinctive, well-built, and increasingly difficult to find at honest prices. This example comes with a 2020 warranty card in the newer NFC format, which is notably uncommon for this reference year and adds a welcome layer of provenance and authenticity.
What's Included:
2020 Warranty card (new style NFC card)
Full links included (12 links)
Payment Options: Wire | Zelle | Venmo | Crypto (+1.5%) — $8,200 – Shipped FedEx Insured Overnight
