Air-King 40mm Oystersteel

Rolex Air-King 40mm Oystersteel
Ref. 126900

The Air-King 126900 is Rolex's aviation piece — a 40mm Oystersteel sports watch with a distinctive black dial combining Arabic and baton markers, a yellow seconds hand, and the large 'Rolex' and 'Air-King' text block inherited from the original 1940s aviation references. It is the most affordable entry into the current Rolex lineup and represents the most direct route into the Rolex service network and secondary market ecosystem. The 2023 update brought a fresh 41mm case, but the 40mm 126900 remains the cleaner proposition for buyers who want something less bulky. Excellent condition with full 2023 box and papers.

This piece is available for immediate purchase at Iron Eagle Reserve, located at 174 E Flagler St in Downtown Miami. We are open Monday through Saturday, 9AM–8PM. No appointment is required to view or purchase any watch in The Vault. All transactions can be completed in cash or by wire transfer on the same visit.
