About this watch

Band: Black Leather (Unworn Generic) Clasp: Steel Pin Buckle (Generic) Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 10 Bar/100m (Surface Swimming ok) This Rolex Air-King ref. 14010 is a classic neo-vintage iteration of the iconic aviation-inspired line, which has been in continuous production since the 1940s. Its versatile 34-mm stainless steel Oyster case is pressure-resistant to 10 bar, thanks to a Twinlock screw-down crown. This rating makes the watch ideal for daily wear and even light surface swimming, provided it receives proper care and maintenance. It has a compact lug-to-lug of 43mm and a sleek thickness of just 11.5mm, wearing effortlessly under any cuff. The clean and striking matte blue dial is easy to style, providing a rich backdrop for the applied white-gold baton hour markers and matching baton handset. Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, marking a major upgrade over the acrylic crystals of earlier generations while maintaining a classic, time-only layout without a date aperture. Surrounding the crystal is a distinctive engine-turned bezel crafted from stainless steel. Machined with fine radial grooves and intermittent polished hour markers, this bezel sets the ref. 14010 apart from its smooth-bezeled 14000 siblings. The watch is fitted on an unworn black leather strap securing to the wrist using a steel pin buckle (both generic). Beating behind the closed, screw-down steel caseback is the in-house, automatic Rolex calibre 3000. It beats at 4Hz (28,800 vph) for around 42 to 48 hours. This Rolex Air-King has just been through our service centre, Watch Tech, and is covered by our two-year VWC warranty. Watch only. Circa 1993.
