The Rolex Air King 114200 is a timeless and elegant model that reflects Rolex’s commitment to precision and classic design. Whether you’re a collector looking for a piece of Rolex history or someone seeking a versatile and reliable everyday watch, the 114200 is a strong choice.

This is a classic and understated model within the Rolex lineup, known for its simplicity, reliability, and connection to aviation history. The reference 114200 was introduced in 2007 and continued production until 2014 when Rolex updated the Air-King line. The Air-King 114200 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3130. This is an automatic (self-winding) movement known for its precision and reliability, featuring a Parachrom hairspring which provides greater resistance to shocks and temperature variations. The 114200 features a 34mm stainless steel case. While this size might be considered smaller by modern standards, it is very much in keeping with the Air-King’s heritage and provides a comfortable, understated wear. The watch is modeled on a 17.50cm wrist and therefore should suit most wrist types. It does wear bigger than the stats suggest’s. The watch is made from 904L stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and is often used in high-technology and chemical industries. Rolex refers to this as “Oystersteel.” The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which is highly scratch-resistant. The watch is paired with the Rolex Oyster bracelet, which is known for its durability and comfort. The bracelet features an Oysterclasp with the Easylink comfort extension, allowing the wearer to adjust the bracelet length by about 5mm for added comfort. The 114200 comes with a smooth, polished bezel, contributing to the watch’s classic and refined appearance. The Air-King was originally launched in the 1940s as a tribute to the RAF pilots of World War II. While the 114200 maintains a modern design, it still embodies the spirit of aviation history that the Air-King line represents. With its clean, simple design and moderate case size, the 114200 is incredibly versatile. It can be worn in both casual and formal settings, making it a great everyday watch. The Air-King 114200 is appreciated for its minimalist design, making it a favorite for those who prefer a classic and unpretentious timepiece. The 114200 is considered a modern classic, bridging the gap between vintage and contemporary Rolex design. It is especially sought after by collectors who appreciate Rolex’s history and craftsmanship. The value of the Air-King 114200 has appreciated over time, particularly as Rolex has shifted its design approach with the newer, larger models. A well-maintained 114200 with original box and papers like this one is particularly desirable.
