\"Rolex<\/a><\/p>\n

Rolex has released several updated versions of their classic models for Baselworld 2016. The new Air-King (116900), a model that originated during World War II, features a black dial with the original Air-King lettering used in vintage models.<\/p>\n

The 40mm case and oyster bracelet are made using Rolex’s 904L stainless steel alloy. This model features a smooth bezel and mercedes style hour hand. Powered by a 3131 movement, this Air-King received a Superlative chronometer certification.<\/p>\n

An interesting feature of this model is that the hour markers (3, 6 and 9) alternate with minute scales, making it very easy to read the time on this watch.<\/p>\n

Straps for the New Air-King<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Air-King<\/a>\u00a0model 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.<\/p>\n

The 34mm configuration retains the \u00a0case 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.<\/p>\n

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\u00a034mm<\/a>\u00a0Air-King and other Midsize and Ladies Rolex models in our e-Boutique and a separate group of bands made specifically for the\u00a040mm<\/a>\u00a0Air-King.<\/p>\n

Our straps are made in Switzerland and designed to maintain the integrity of timepieces like the Air-King for a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Straps for the new Air-King<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rubber B designed 4 bracelets for the\u00a0Rolex Air-King 34 mm<\/a>\u00a0timepiece. There is a\u00a0Black Tuxedo Velour<\/a>\u00a0color option which looks and feels like a felt texture down the center, almost like a man\u2019s cummerbund of a real tuxedo, but it is 100% rubber.\u00a0 Although it works well with any business or elegant man\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

It has the\u00a0Jet Black<\/a>\u00a0version which matches the black dial.\u00a0 There is the\u00a0Arctic White<\/a>\u00a0band which matches the white lettering on the dial.\u00a0 Finally, there is the\u00a0Navy Blue<\/a>\u00a0option, which works extremely well with some Air-King models.<\/p>\n

For the new Air-King 40mm, visit the Rubber B page\u00a0here<\/a>.\u00a0 Rubber B supports the Air-King 34mm case with 19mm lug space.\u00a0 The strap utilizes \u201cBlocked Integration\u201d engineering for a flawless, motionless flush mount to the Air-King case.\u00a0 This band is designed to mount the original Oyster Clasp that came with the Rolex steel Oyster band.<\/p>\n

All Rubber B bands are made in Switzerland of pure vulcanized rubber.\u00a0 No coatings, blends or bonding is used in the manufacturing of this Rubber B strap.\u00a0 This strap comes with 3 solid colors and a Tuxedo Velour option, which is an upscale version of the Jet Black strap.\u00a0 For more information, please visit our Air-King 34mm page\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
