The Rolex Air King is a Rolex classic and has become one of the most recognized Rolex wristwatches. Initially manufactured in the late 1950's the Rolex Air king has benefited from more than 50 years of development and improvement by Rolex. Like all the currently produced models in the Rolex Oyster range, the Rolex Air King is powered by a self-winding Rolex movement. Each movement has 100 points of contact with proprietary lubricants to ensure reliable performance.

The Oyster Perpetual Movement shares the same philosophy as Rolex the company a high-precision mechanism. The spirit of Rolex lives throughout the world worn daily by millions of proud people, with a small movement of the wrist the rotor winds the watch automatically.
