Air-King, 126900, Oystersteel, 2024

Product Description

The Rolex Air King 126900 turned an unusual model in the Professional collection into a much more purposeful watch. Introduced in 2022, it retained the Air King’s distinctive combination of large 3, 6 and 9 numerals with a minute scale, but redesigned the case, added crown guards and introduced the “05” marker to finally give the dial a consistent two digit minute display.

The 40mm Oystersteel case is paired with a black dial punctuated by Rolex green across the seconds hand and signature, with the yellow coronet providing the only other colour. The Oyster bracelet now closes with an Oysterlock safety clasp, while calibre 3230 provides approximately 70 hours of power reserve.

Those changes make the 126900 more than a movement update to the previous Air King. The revised case gives it stronger ties to Rolex’s Professional watches, while the corrected minute scale resolves one of the quirks of the outgoing 116900 without removing the dial that made the Air King different in the first place.

Our 126900 is a 2024 example presented in very good condition, with only lights signs of wear and polishing. Offered as a complete set with the booklets, warranty card, both tags and original Rolex box.
