RolexAir-KingModel No: 116900-G20A

Rolex certainly knows well how to develop timepieces that can transcend seasons with their timeless look and appease even the most discerning watch enthusiast with its unparalleled watchmaking. Here’s a proof of the same — the Rolex Air-King. If you like your Rolex with a touch of colour and some extra character without forgoing the understated house aesthetics, then this watch is for you. This reference 116900, introduced in 2016, is a combination of elegant style and singular details.

As for the construction, this Air-King is a fully-armed, robust timepiece with impressive design elements. Measuring 40mm, this reference stands out on the wrist with its subtle yet powerful presence. The streamlined stainless steel body with well-formed lugs and crown further add to its luxurious mien. The black dial carries the signature configuration of hour markers at three, six, and nine o’clock positions and a bold Arabic numeral minute scale to aid the reading of navigational time. Worth noting is the attention to detail on the dial. While the hour markers are hand applied, minute ones are meticulously painted; resulting in an appealing visual contrast.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
