Look at 5.10.20 and it's a minute dial ready for the pilot to take off at minute 52
The green and yellow Rolex with Coronet
Matched with the green minute hand
The anti magnetic protection of a Milgauss (it has the same case Faraday cage etc)
The great Mercedes hands in white gold
Non PCLS
Just enough lume (you don't need anymore)
The easi link clasp for when it's warm

Well done you know a good watch when you see one.

And what great photos


Thanks!!

I also admire the design behind:
Just like the 2006 cockpit instruments, Bloodhound SSC Project.

Simply beautiful, different; Air King!!!

If it’s something “Royal” it must be .....
Meghan and Harry’s Baby
What else could possibly be royal ?

Very nice! I didn't initially like the dial with all the minute marks, but the Air-King is now growing on me, really like the yellow and green accent color.

When I first saw pic of AK, I was like ”what freak watch is that..???”
But after studying the history and experiencing one personally.. what a watch!!

Great piece! I love mine, it’s very comfortable and actually gets more attention than the others.

Enjoy!
