A Legacy of Aviation: The Story of the Air-King
Born in the 1940s to honor the RAF pilots of the Battle of Britain, the Air-King has always been a symbol of courage and precision. While early models were celebrated for their humble reliability, the modern reference 116900 transformed the Air-King into a bold, professional instrument. Its design DNA is directly sourced from the cockpit instruments of a supersonic car, the Bloodhound SSC, blending Rolex's past with a vision for the future. Our Rolex Air King Super Clone is a tribute to this unique and compelling story.
Deconstructing Perfection: A 1:1 Replication
To be called a Super Clone, a replica must be virtually indistinguishable from the original. Our Air-King achieves this through an obsessive focus on the details that truly matter.
The Iconic Dial: Where Form Meets Function
The soul of the Air-King lies in its unique black dial. Unlike any other Rolex, it features oversized 3, 6, and 9 numerals alongside a prominent minute scale for navigational time readings. Our 1:1 replication process ensures:
Perfect Numerals: The applied, polished 18k white gold numerals are correctly proportioned and finished.
Signature Green Accents: The vibrant green seconds hand and Rolex logo are matched to the exact Pantone color of the original, a detail cheap fakes never get right.
Flawless Printing: The minute markers are sharp, crisp, and perfectly aligned, providing the functional legibility of a true pilot's instrument.
The 904L Oystersteel Case: A Fortress for the Wrist
The Air-King's 40mm case is built for durability. We use solid blocks of 904L stainless steel, the same corrosion-resistant alloy used by Rolex, to craft the case. This ensures not only the identical look and feel but also the substantial weight and robustness you expect. The Twinlock screw-down crown guarantees water resistance, protecting the sophisticated movement within.
The Caliber 3131 Clone: The Heart of the Machine
At the heart of our Air-King Super Clone is a high-precision clone of the Caliber 3131. This robust automatic movement is not only a workhorse in terms of reliability but also features the same anti-magnetic properties as the original, thanks to its internal magnetic shield. The smooth, 28,800 vibrations-per-hour sweep of the seconds hand is a testament to its quality.
