[Trivia] Trivia about Air King

The oldest pet name in Rolex history

Since its release in the late 1940s, the Air-King has been loved by people as the oldest Rolex model with a nickname. There are various theories, but a pet name is a nickname for a product model. For example, other Rolex models such as the Daytona and GMT-Master are also pet names. However, the Air-King is considered the oldest Rolex model to have a pet name written on the dial and become an official model name.

A tribute to the aviation industry

The Air-King was born in the 1940s, earlier than famous models like the Daytona and Explorer. Its concept was "homage to the aviation industry." The 1930s and 1940s, when the Air-King was released, were a time of rapid development for the aviation industry. Aircraft evolved especially during the World Wars, and continued to develop, increasing in speed and distance. Watch manufacturers followed the trend and actively produced pilot watches and products celebrating aviation. Rolex also released models such as the Space King, Commander Everest, and Air-King. It was against this backdrop that the Air-King was born as an "homage to the aviation industry."
