The Air-King, created in 1958, symbolizes the privileged relationship between Rolex and flying during the golden age of aviation in the 1930s. It pays tribute to the pilots of the era and the Oyster’s role in their epic story. Several pilots set records while wearing an Oyster. Others used a Rolex watch as an on-board chronometer. In 1933, Oyster watches accompanied the Houston Expedition as it made the first-ever flight over Mount Everest at an altitude exceeding 10,000 metres (33,000 feet) in extreme weather conditions. Over the years, the Air-King has been updated with aesthetic and technical features, embodying Rolex’s perpetual quest for excellence.
