When the King got turned…
Hans Wilsdorf launched the Air King as a series of “Air” watches in the 1940s, including the Air Lion and Air Tiger, to pay respect to the Battle of Britain pilots. This cool Air King retains some cool vintage elements, such as the original AIR KING font on the upper half of the dial and PRECISION on the lower half.
The dial has a soleil blue finish and has applied Arabic numbers at 3, 6 and 9 which gives it an Explorer-esque look. The reference 14010 has an engine turned bezel, houses the Calibre 3000 movement and has a sapphire crystal. The bracelet is a solid link Oyster bracelet reference 78350, with a clasp stamped ‘AD 6’ and ref 557b endlinks. The watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.Rolex!
