The Rolex Air-King is one of our best sellers – and for good reason!

An iconic watch combining simplicity, functionality and durability, the Air-King was originally designed in the 1940s to pay tribute to the British Royal Air Force pilots who had distinguished themselves through their bravery during the Second World War.
