The spirit of aviation and the legacy of Rolex imbue the classic Air-King model with a charm that sets it apart from other Oyster Perpetual models. Its legibility and streamlined design aesthetic makes it easy to tell the time at a glance, which comes in hand when your attention is focused on flying.
With a history dating back to the golden age of aviation, the Rolex Air-King has been on the scene longer than most of their timepieces, constantly evolving but always maintaining a clear dial that is easy to read.
Straps for Rolex Air-King
The Air-King model predates World War II, a time when many around the world took to the air to defend their countries and protect their families. While most of those who wear a Rolex these days will only fly as passengers on commercial flights, they can still honor the history of flight and the innovations of companies like Rolex by wearing a watch like this.
The 34mm configuration retains the case size that was more common in times past. The 2016 Air-King comes in a 40mm case, evolving the classic model to adhere to modern standards in watchmaking.
At Rubber B, our goal is to provide the ultimate rubber strap for the watches that they are designed for. We have several vulcanized rubber strap options for the 34mm Air-King and other Midsize and Ladies Rolex models in our e-Boutique and a separate group of bands made specifically for the 40mm Air-King.
Our straps are made in Switzerland and designed to maintain the integrity of timepieces like the Air-King for a lifetime.
Rubber B designed 4 bracelets for the Rolex Air-King 34 mm timepiece. There is a Black Tuxedo Velour color option which looks and feels like a felt texture down the center, almost like a man’s cummerbund of a real tuxedo, but it is 100% rubber. Although it works well with any business or elegant man’s luxury suit, it can work well even with a swim suit, as it is fully waterproof. There are 3 other colors which are just as stunning.
It has the Jet Black version which matches the black dial. There is the Arctic White band which matches the white lettering on the dial. Finally, there is the Navy Blue option, which works extremely well with some Air-King models.
For the new Air-King 40mm, visit the Rubber B page here. Rubber B supports the Air-King 34mm case with 19mm lug space. The strap utilizes “Blocked Integration” engineering for a flawless, motionless flush mount to the Air-King case. This band is designed to mount the original Oyster Clasp that came with the Rolex steel Oyster band.
All Rubber B bands are made in Switzerland of pure vulcanized rubber. No coatings, blends or bonding is used in the manufacturing of this Rubber B strap. This strap comes with 3 solid colors and a Tuxedo Velour option, which is an upscale version of the Jet Black strap. For more information, please visit our Air-King 34mm page here.
Rubber B just launched a new color band – the Pine Green bracelet for the Rolex Air King 40mm. You asked, and we listened. Air King owners have been asking for a matching Green Bracelet to compliment the green second hand and Rolex lettering on the face. And now Rubber B has added it to its complete lineup of colors and styles in the Classic Series. Other colors include Jet Black, Arctic White, Navy Blue, Mandarin Orange, and 3 two-tone colors.
