A Discussion around the newly released Rolex Air-King and the Evolution of its Design. The model was introduced first as a Pilots instrument in the late 1940's and over time changed to become the entry-level oyster perpetual. A new dial introduction changed how this watch was seen and with the latest addition, new case, crown guards and lumed arabic numerals, it has never been more divisive.
