The Rolex reference 116900 was launched at Baselworld in 2016. It is a homage to one of the most successful and most produced models, the “Air-King” . Usually fitted in a 34mm case, the new Air King has a 40mm diameter case to answer the new trends demand. The dial design of the 2016 Air-King bears a striking similarity to two cockpit instruments, created by Rolex in 2006 at the beginning of its partnership with the Bloodhound SSC Project.
