Rolex Air-King - Past And Now

The original Rolex Air-King, ref. 4925, was 34mm in diameter, a spec that was to stay with the watch until it fell from the catalog a couple of years ago. And within the case beat a series of movements, culminating with the 3030 in 2000. Interestingly, the Air-King did not receive Chronometer status until 2007.

The new Rolex Air-King is 40mm in diameter, a full 6mm larger than its ancestor. A watch sports a black dial and the aforementioned yellow crown logo, green ‘ROLEX’ signature and seconds hand. Also, oddly, the watch is now anti-magnetic – a trait it now shares with the Milgauss. We’re not complaining, mind you, but what a curious design choice – particularly since it adds 2mm to the thickness of the watch. 

Perhaps the pilots don’t care. Minutes are printed every five, with applied hours at 3, 6, and 9. This last fact has been controversial among the cognoscenti. Some say the whole watch is now a true aviator’s watch, claiming it never was before, despite the name. Others complain that the dial is now too busy.

Rolex Anniversary Model - Rolex Daytona 116506

First launched in 1963, the Daytona is Rolex’s chronograph collection inspired by motor sports. Over the course of its 50+ years, the Daytona has undergone several improvements and modifications, most notably with its movement. First using modified manual Valjoux movements, then moving on to automatic Zenith ones, today the replica Rolex Daytona is driven by the manufacture’s own in-house automatic movements.

In 2013, for the 50th anniversary of their flagship chronograph, Rolex presented the platinum Daytona ref. 116506. In fact, this is the first Daytona to ever to use platinum. While this actually upset many Rolex fans as they were looking forward to a steel model as the anniversary edition, the choice of ultra precious platinum highlights the ref. 115506 as a very special model indeed.

The platinum 40mm case features a brown Cerachrom ceramic bezel, which matches the trio of brown subdials on the dial. The dial sports an ice blue shade, a color Rolex reserves only for its platinum models. All these design elements come together for one grand statement watch worthy of the big Daytona birthday.

Rolex Anniversary Model - Rolex Submariner 16610LV

In 2004, Rolex introduced the Submariner ref. 16610LV to mark the model’s 50th anniversary. The commemorative Submariner shared many of the same design traits as the traditional ref. 11610. It sports the same steel 40mm Oyster case with the Triplock crown and water resistance to 1,000 feet (300 meters). It also wears the same stainless steel Oyster bracelet that extends to fit over a diving suit. Additionally, the ref. 16610LV also houses the Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement.

The differences between the classic Rolex Submariner 11610 and the anniversary 11610LV are found on the face of the watch. First and foremost, the anniversary Submariner has a vibrant green bezel insert. This choice in color for the unidirectional rotating bezel has brought about the watch’s nickname—the Kermit. The green ref. 11610LV was also the first Submariner to include the Maxi dial whose large lume plots are framed with gold surrounds.
