Rolex Air-King
Rolex frames the Air-King as its tribute to the aviators of the 1930s, the decade when Oyster watches went along on record flights, including the 1933 Houston expedition that flew over Mount Everest. The modern watch keeps that cockpit look: a black dial with a large 3, 6 and 9 for the hours and a minute scale printed big enough to read at a glance.
The current reference, the 126900, arrived in 2022. It is 40mm of Oystersteel, waterproof to 100 metres, and for the first time on an Air-King the case carries a crown guard to protect the screw-down crown. Inside is the calibre 3230, a self-winding movement Rolex rates at about 70 hours of power reserve and minus 2 to plus 2 seconds a day.
U.S. Third Fleet
Third Fleet was first activated in 1943 and fought across the Central Pacific in the Second World War. It was reactivated in 1973, moved to San Diego in 1991, and took its headquarters ashore at Point Loma in 2003. The Navy describes its area as roughly 50 million square miles of the Eastern and Northern Pacific.
