Today Tim compares the new for 2022 Rolex Air-King Ref. 126900 to its predecessor, the 2016 Rolex Air-King Ref. 116900.

First introduced in 1945, the "Air-King" name celebrated the British Royal Air Force pilots who flew with Rolex Oyster Perpetuals strapped to their wrists through WWII.Since then, the Air-King has remained a staple in the Rolex collection. For most of its nearly 80-year history, the Rolex Air-King was the true entry-level option in the Rolex catalog. One of the hallmarks of the Air-King was a classically sized 34mm case, available with a wide variety of dials pulling from all corners of the Rolex collection. This formula lasted until 2016 when the Air-King transformed into a 40mm sports watch with a radical new dial design inspired by the instrument dials in the Bloodhound SSC rocket car.

Ref. 116900 was in production until 2022, when Rolex unveiled Ref. 126900 at Watches and Wonders in Geneva. This new Air-King harkens to the line's roots as a celebration of aviation. Featuring several minor tweaks to the existing design, the 2022 Air-King may be a subtle upgrade to its predecessor but represents a solid addition to the current Rolex lineup.
