Rolex has demonstrated its mastery in crafting timepieces that transcend seasons with their timeless appeal, satisfying even the most discerning watch enthusiasts with its unmatched watchmaking prowess. A prime example of this is the Rolex Air-King—a significant linchpin of Rolex's aeronautical heritage. If you prefer your Rolex with a touch of colour and added character while still retaining the brand's understated aesthetics, then look no further than this timepiece. Introduced in 2016, the reference 116900 seamlessly combines elegant style with unique details.

In terms of construction, the Air-King is a robust timepiece armed with impressive design elements. With a diameter of 40mm, this reference commands attention on the wrist with its subtle yet dominating presence. The stainless steel body, coupled with well-defined lugs and the crown, further enhances its luxurious appeal. The black dial features the iconic configuration of hour markers at three, six, and nine o'clock positions, along with bold Arabic numerals for the minute scale, aiding in navigational time reading. Notably, the dial showcases meticulous attention to detail, with hand-applied hour markers and painted minute markers, creating a visually striking 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.
