With an enthralling history, the Rolex Air-King\u2019s story goes all the way back to World War II in the Battle of Britain, where it was part of a series of watches created for the British Royal Air Force. Its use in the aviation and military meant that it had to be a no nonsense watch \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what we get with the Rolex Air-King ref 14000.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/search\/?q=14000\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10701 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-1.png 600w, https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-1-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/search\/?q=14000\">Rolex Air-King Stainless Steel Black Dial 14000<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This model comes in a stainless steel Oyster case with only simple baton hour markers and a smooth domed bezel.
