-Description

During the golden age of aviation in the 1930s, Rolex Oyster watches were on the wrist of many pilots. The Air-King was born as a tribute to the pioneers of that golden age.

Reference 5500 was produced for approximately 30 years, from the late 1950s to the late 1980s. It is one of the most representative references for those new to vintage Rolex.

The 34mm Oyster case, three non-date hands, smooth bezel and minimalist design are the main features of the Air-King.

The dial is a matte black dial with gold lettering, a rare combination for Air-King with a four-digit reference. The hands and indexes are also gold, giving the watch an appearance that is both sporty and gorgeous.

The dial and hands are lumed with tritium.

The movement is a automatic Cal.1520 with a hack function. This is a highly reliable movement that has been in service for more than 20 years despite its non-chronometer specifications.

The bracelet comes with a oyster bracelet 78350 from later years. It has 12 links which can be worn up to a wrist circumference of just over 18cm.
