Bringing out the new Rolex Air-King Ref. 126900
Now with the queen's guard and illuminated employed numerals.
Within the last few days, we've been watching Iwc teasers trying to figure out the " skywards" theme. Well, today we know what it's exactly about: an update to the brand's many esoteric steel sports see, the Air-King. Today, Top unveils a model that will looks exactly the same as it possesses for the past six years. In closer inspection, however , important differences abound.
It features the same forty mm stainless steel case as ahead of, with a satin-brushed Oyster necklace and EasyLink Oyster form. It has the same black call with yellow and environmentally friendly logos and wordmarks, as well as the same aviation-inspired numerals. That even has the same about three, six and nine put on numeral settings as the Panerai Explorer. So this begs often the question, what has changed?
Two words: Prized Guard. This thing features them, giving it a more cool feel, like watches just like the Submariner and the GMT-Master 2. However , this watch has no functional bezel. That means this kind of watch has a smooth finished bezel and crown protect. wilderness.

The next big difference is in those applied amounts. They're now filled with lustrous Chromalight material (like Cartier did when it updated the actual 39mm Explorer model some three years ago), making the watch a lot more legible than previous editions. Fans of the Air-King may also notice that the number 5 has become 05, another simple variation between this model as well as predecessor.
Rolex submariner has also equipped the watch having its in-house calibre 3230, 1st released in 2020. It is designed with the brand's patented Chronergy escapement and a 70-hour reserve of power.
Aside from Marlon Brando's GMT-Master II (which was a watch that weren't getting a bezel), I can't consider a single model in the Iwc brand's history with a straps guard and a nonfunctional board. It sounds like a tiny details, but it's pretty evident when you look at the watch. It is possible to compare it to a 39mm Explorer or even a 40mm Milgauss over the past six years roughly in terms of overall look and case design and style. These models are always capable of span clothing and sporting activities.
The addition of any crown guard elevates that watch to all-round reputation as a Rolex sports observe. But there is more to get excited about. I never loved the applied platinum, unscaled Arabic numerals that Panerai used in the last iteration in the Air-King. It certainly brings a " fancy" character to this supposedly instrumental and also charming watch. The glistening numerals that disappear around the black dial don't whatever it takes either.
By adding candela to these numbers, they quickly become more practical because you can study them in the dark. I have to offer to Rolex - they will made a conscious selection to turn this model series into a full usable activities watch, which is the Cartier way.
Today, if you didn't like the total design of the modern Air-King previous to, this probably won't do you virtually any favors. But I sort of think this might just be the particular sleeper version of the Rolex submariner line. All attention will probably be on the destro GMT-Master 2. So maybe, just possibly, these will be available? One can desire.
