During and after World War II, Rolex released a handful of the “Air” pilot watch models for the British Royal Air Force. The Rolex Air King was released after a series of Air models, the Air Lion, Air Tiger and Air Giant, and outlasted them.  This Rolex pilot watch was first introduced in 1945 with the reference 4925. It features a 34 mm stainless steel case with smooth bezel, a cream dial and Arabic numerals for even hours. The early Air King models all housed a manual wound Hunter movement that was similar to other stainless steel Rolex Oyster models.  Evolution of Rolex Air King Watches As one of Rolex’s oldest watch models still being listed in the catalog, the Air-King has evolved dramatically over its long history while retaining its fundamental style.  Rolex Air King 5500 This Rolex 5500 Air King watch is considered as a representative vintage Air King model in the current secondary market. It was released in 1957 as the successor of the previous reference 6652 released in 1953. The watch is equipped with a 34 mm stainless steel case, a domed bezel and a matching Oyster steel bracelet. It featured a three-hand creamy silver dial with stick hour markers.  Air King 5500 This watch has soon become an iconic model in the collection that is rare and desirable among the vintage watch collectors.  Rolex Air King 14000 In 1989, Rolex introduced the five-digit Reference 14000 as an update model to the Air King 5500. It was another new approach for the collection after 37 years. This model featured the later-iconic Arabic numerals at the 3-6-9 hour markers, with stick markers in between. This Arabic numeral version had instantly proved popular with customers. It also featured the most advanced Rolex caliber 3000 movement at the time.  Air King 14000 There was also a variant with reference 14010 that featured the “engine turned bezel.” At the time the engine turned bezel was a popular alternative for the Rolex lovers who didn’t prefer the flashy fluted bezel that was on many Datejusts models. In 2000, both the Air King 14000 and Air King 14010 were updated with the newer in-house caliber 3130 movement.  Rolex Air King 114200 In 2007, Rolex replaced the 14000 models with six-digit references, the 114200 models. These new references of Rolex Air-King maintained a 34mm Oystersteel case with the scratch-proof sapphire crystal and a matching Oystersteel bracelet. The robust bracelet was updated to solid end-links. The Air King 114200 was fitted with a smooth bezel while its variants, the Air King 114210 had an engine-turned bezel and the Air King 114234 featured a fluted white gold bezel. Air King White Steel 114234 White The generation of Rolex Air King was the first models that were COSC certified in the collection. Led by the Rolex 114200, these models are updated with a “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” marking on their dials above the 6 o’clock.  Rolex Air King 116900 After two years of discontinuation, Rolex released a new Air-King Reference 116900 in 2016. At first glance, this Rolex Air King 2016 version obviously varies from the previous models in terms of design aesthetics. Instead of the old 34mm monochromatic Air-King case, this new generation of the Air-King features a larger 40mm Oystersteel case, which is the same case as the Rolex Milgauss 116400. This Rolex 116900 is also powered by the same in-house movement 3131 Caliber with anti-magnetism features with the Milgauss watch.  Air King Black Dial 116900 Black The brand has placed a relatively playful dial on the new Air King watch. While featuring the iconic large 3-6-9 Arabic numerals, the dial is fitted with a bright green second hand. The brand logo and name is also placed in a bold execution that the Rolex crown logo is enemaled in sharp yellow and “ROLEX” is in green. It has become a standing out characteristic of the Air King model.  No matter if you prefer the simpler classic older models or go for the newest bold model, the Air-King is a great choice as a Rolex entry watch. It’s definitely one of the best solid starter Rolex watches, being lower priced than other sports models in the brand. Holding more than 75 years of history behind it, the Rolex Air King has proven its value and market as an important part of the brand amongst the longest running Rolex collections.

Introduction The Seiko Presage series prominently represents a perfect union of world-renowned Japanese aesthetic sense and the company’s immense expertise in the field of mechanical watchmaking. A fully integrated watch manufacture, Seiko has been renowned for its all-around proficiency in various fields, especially quartz technology, which has revolutionized the precision timekeeping arena. The brand has also introduced several brilliant innovations in both electronic and mechanical branches of watchmaking. The advent of quartz watches in the 1970s had a great impact on the long-established mechanical watchmaking traditions. However, in the 1990s, people began valuing the timeless nature of traditional watches and their enchanting mechanisms. This trend has gradually gained momentum, especially in Japan. To properly serve various categories of its loyal customers, Seiko Watch Corporation has constituted diverse segments for affordable and luxury wristwatches. Under the Seiko brand, the company offers a number of budget-friendly mechanical watch collections.  Among its two luxury brands, Grand Seiko has been available in the international marketplace since 2010, and Credor is limited to Japan’s domestic market. In 2017, Grand Seiko became a fully independent marque. Presently, Seiko is offering mechanical watches from flagship lines like Presage, Prospex and Lukia (women’s collection).

An elegant mechanical dress watch collection, Presage serves a wide range of customers with a passion for traditional timekeepers. Seiko has categorized this series into two groups: Basic and Prestige. As their names suggest, they respectively belong to two segments: The mid-price (from HK $2,500 to HK $5,000) and the luxury (from HK $5,000 to HK $28,000), just below the price range of Grand Seiko mechanical and spring-drive collections.

Introduction Daytona Rolex is the most admired mechanical luxury sports chronograph ever made. Named after the iconic Daytona Beach racetrack in Florida, this timepiece is an ultimate micro-engineering marvel dedicated to endurance motor racing. Introduced in 1963, Daytona is not the first chronograph watch to come out from the house of Rolex. The company has been producing chronographs since the 1930s. Many of the historical models are now highly sought-after by seasoned collectors. History and Evolution Before introducing the Daytona collection, Rolex had produced a number of chronograph watches equipped with customized Valjoux movements. Among them, reference 6238 is known as Pre-Daytona. In 1963, the brand introduced a manual winding mechanical chronograph watch featuring an external tachymeter bezel made of steel. This timepiece with reference number 6239 established the foundation of the Rolex Daytona collection. Known as Cosmograph, this stainless steel watch was released without the DAYTONA inscription on the dial.  In the mid-1960s, Rolex began capitalizing on DAYTONA name on the dial of Cosmograph to mark the brand’s partnership with the legendary international speedway as its official timekeeper. (1) First Generation The first generation of Daytona Rolex watches is comprised of various references from 1963 to the late 1980s. These watches house modified Valjoux 72 hand-wound mechanical movements. The notable references from the Original series are 6239, 6240, 6241, 6262, 6263, 6264, and 6265. All these Daytonas feature stainless steel case measuring 37mm diameter, acrylic front glass, steel case back and tachymeter bezel. Some models have a tachymeter scale engraved on the metallic bezel. Certain references feature a black Plexiglas tachymeter bezel-insert instead of the engraved steel bezel. Rolex Daytona 6239 (2) Second Generation Although the world’s first self-winding chronograph was introduced in 1969, Rolex had to wait until 1988 to update Daytona with an automatic calibre. Rolex procured the Zenith “El Primero” 3019PHC calibers and then extensively customized them to create a new calibre family designated Calibre 4030.The second-generation Daytona chronographs are equipped with this self-winding movement. The first Daytona model to be fitted with the Calibre 4030 was the reference 16520. These Rolex ‘Zenith’ Daytona watches feature a 40 mm diameter case mounted with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal instead of acrylic glass. The watches from the second series can be distinguished from their five-digit reference numbers, for example, 16520 (stainless steel), 16523 (stainless steel and yellow gold), and 16528 (yellow gold). (3) Third Generation In 2000, Rolex introduced a state-of-the-art self-winding mechanical movement (4130) to propel the Daytona family to new horizons. Entirely designed and manufactured in-house, this column-wheel and vertical clutch chronograph calibre incorporates innovations like Paramagnetic blue PARACHROM hairspring, Large balance wheel with variable inertia, High-precision regulating via four gold MICROSTELLA nuts and the Traversing balance bridge. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, this 44 jewel movement provides an exceptional autonomy of 72 hours. The Daytonas equipped with the self-winding calibre 4130 belong to the third generation, which uses a six-digit reference number system. The first creation from this series was the reference 116520 Rolex Daytona chronograph, which features a 40mm diameter 904L grade stainless steel case and an engraved metal bezel with a 400 km/hr tachymeter scale. Rolex has been regularly expanding the third series by adding new references in Oystersteel, Bimetal (steel + gold), Gold and Platinum. The brand has also introduced new versions outfitted with ceramic Cerachrom Tachymeter bezel. Not to forget the gem-set Daytonas that instantly captured the attention of glitterati. The most recently released Rolex Daytona 2021 collection is comprised of meteorite dial versions featuring 18-carat gold cases. Iconic Daytona Models Since its official launch in 1963, the Rolex Daytona collection has been evolved tremendously through three distinct generations and several references. These valuable watches are available in steel, gold, platinum and bi-metal (steel and gold) versions. In this page, we present some iconic references from the world’s most-admired mechanical luxury sports chronograph collection.  (1) Rolex Daytona ‘Paul Newman’  The iconic Rolex Daytona paul newman dial watches belong to the first generation. Initially, Daytonas were available with two dial options: White with black counters or Black with white counters. Subsequently, the company introduced the newer dial styles. Among them, the Daytona 6239 with an exotic dial rose to fame due to its connection with the legendary actor and motorsports icon Paul Newman. The other references like 6240, 6241 and 6263 were also offered with the similar design. These references were also made with standard dials, but in terms of value, the models with Paul Newman style outperform them in the vintage watch market. In 2017, a ‘Paul Newman’ Daytona timepiece once owned by the award-winning Hollywood actor was sold for a record-breaking price of $17,752,500 (Above 138.11 million Hong Kong dollars!) during the Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo auction in New York.  From the first generation, the other iconic models are: the Paul Newman Daytona 6263 “The Oyster Sotto” and the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 6263 Oyster Eric Clapton Albino.

With watches becoming bulkier and more feature-rich with every update, there is something about a classic analog watch that turns heads. The Oyster Perpetual Rolex brings back the simplicity and elegance of a classic wristwatch.

With Oyster Perpetual, Rolex has carved a niche for classic analog watches.   An affordable Rolex The Rolex Perpetual is not only a great watch, but it is also at the lower price point within the premium watch market. The Oyster Perpetual Date is another great option that is also at a lower price point compared to other Rolex watches. For watch lovers and collectors looking to make an entry into the world of premium watches, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual is a great choice.  History of Rolex Oyster Perpetual Two in-house Rolex inventions lie at the heart of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual. The first is its distinct design and aesthetics. Another key invention was the self-winding perpetual movement. The Oyster Perpetual originates from the 1926 Rolex Oyster collection. It was the first watch collection in the world with water resistance. The name of the line comes from its case design, which is like the shell of an oyster. Special tools are needed to open the case of the Oyster Perpetual.  Developments in 1931 gave the Oyster Perpetual its present shape and form. Rolex came up with the self-winding movement this year. This movement got its power from the continuous (perpetual) movement of the wearers’ wrist.  The Oyster Perpetual collection was a mega success from the very beginning. Its success led to many other lines being named with the prefix of ‘Perpetual’. The term itself is now reminiscent of Rolex‘s path-breaking technological innovation.  For a long time, the Oyster Perpetual was predominantly positioned as a women’s watch. The main reason behind this was the relatively smaller case diameter of Rolex Oyster Perpetuals. Case diameter within the series used to be 26 mm, 31 mm, 34 mm, and 36 mm. Traditionally smaller case diameters are associated with women’s watches. Among these models, the Oyster Perpetual 36 was a top pick for many buyers and watch lovers.  Oyster Perpetual 39 114300-0005 Rolex Oyster Perpetual in the 2000s In the middle of 2000 came the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual models with six-digit reference numbers. The watches from the 2000 production line are still in the market. These watches came with a case diameter of 34 mm. The line began to be known as Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date 34. It was different from the previous lines of Oyster perpetual. Though it came with a case diameter of 34 mm, the case was designed to appear larger. There was also slight modification in the straps, making them more functional.  Oyster Perpetual 34 114200 Green 2015 and the launch of Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 mm In 2015 came the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39. With a case diameter of 39 mm, the line appealed to both men and women. Men, particularly, found the increased case diameter to be more masculine. In no time, the watch became a favorite among men. With another round of design upgrades, the watch was made available in 5 color options. Despite more color options, purists and traditionalists loved the classic black and white dials the most. The 39 mm diameter was a game-changer in every way for Rolex. It was big enough for big wrists but not so big that those with smaller wrists would avoid it. The watch has a simple, elegant style, much like the other Oyster Perpetual models.   Oyster Perpetual 39 114300/Purple Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 From 26 mm to 41 mm, Rolex had a significant shift in case diameter. However, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 mm further expanded the market of Oyster Perpetual. With 7 dial color options, this Rolex Oyster Perpetual 2020 watch brought more options while painting the hallmark simplicity in design. While some saw the jump in case diameter as drastic, it did catch the attention of watch lovers. Most were happy to find their favorite watch in bigger case size. The color options also played a key role in the watch’s success. Its bright and lively colors were called ‘Stella-inspired’. While purists held to the classic dials, the newer ones were a work of art in their own rights. Bright colors like green, blue, yellow, and red gave the watch a revamped appearance while preserving its signature simplicity. Apart from color variations, Rolex did not do anything to the watch in terms of upgrades and modifications. Rolex‘s caliber 3230 powers the Oyster Perpetual 41. It is the same movement that powers the legendary Rolex Submariner. The key highlight of this movement is enhanced precision and more powerful battery performance. It is also called a Superlative Chronometer movement, meaning that the watch is ideal for everyday wear.  Oyster Perpetual 41 124300-0006 Rolex Oyster Perpetual in 2020 2020 had been a good year for Rolex and the brand’s connoisseurs. Apart from the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41, the company also launched a renewed Rolex Submariner line. While there is a lot of talk about smaller case diameters making a comeback, Rolex is set to perpetuate the dominance of big cases. Apart from the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41, the only time Rolex had a 41 mm case diameter was in the Rolex Datejust 41. In 2020, Rolex has 3 different lines with 41 mm case diameter watches. It also gives a glimpse as to what the future of the premium watch segment holds. Chances are, bigger case diameters will continue to dominate the premium and dress watch segment.  Oyster Perpetual 41mm 124300-0002 Rolex Oyster Perpetual for Ladies As mentioned earlier, the Oyster Perpetual was predominantly seen as a ladies’ watch. However, there were indeed models specifically designed for women. The key feature of their ladies’ watch was a small case diameter of 26 mm. Like their counterparts, these watches are also available in different color options and strap options. The inclusion of all types of watches makes the Rolex Oyster Perpetual a complete premium watch collection. Oyster Perpetual 276200-0004
