Rolex Air-King Super Clone Watch Movements

Self-winding movement. The self-winding rotor winds the mainspring from wrist motion, so there's no battery to replace.

Clone 3230. The Air-King super clones run a Clone 3230 that follows the genuine movement's gear train and escapement.

Chronergy escapement. The clone Caliber 3230 uses the Chronergy escapement for better energy efficiency.

Parachrom-style hairspring. The clone has a Parachrom-style hairspring that resists magnetic fields and temperature changes.

Smooth operation. The clone movement runs fluidly and consistently across all functions.

28,800 BPH. The clone 3230 beats at 28,800 BPH, or 8 ticks a second, for a smooth sweep of the seconds hand.

Stable timekeeping. Every movement is calibrated on a timegrapher before shipment to check the seconds-per-day deviation and amplitude stability.

Mechanical precision. The clone calibers match the genuine movement's balance wheel and escapement tolerances.

Rolex Air-King Super Clone Watch Materials and Sizes

904L / Oystersteel. The Oystersteel case resists sweat, saltwater, and oxidation better than the 316L steel in lower-tier replicas.

40mm case. The 40mm diameter matches the genuine Air-King's wrist footprint, lug width, and proportions, machined on a 5-axis CNC.

Case thickness. The case thickness matches the original Air-King, which keeps the wrist arc and contact angle that set 1:1 super clones apart from generic replicas.

Classic case architecture. The Oyster case follows the original Air-King's monobloc middle case, integrated lugs, and case back geometry.

Water resistance. The Oyster-style case gives 50m to 100m of water resistance for daily wear, hand washing, and light water exposure.

Oyster bracelet. The bracelet is assembled from individually machined solid links that match the genuine Air-King's taper, width, and folding clasp at the lugs.

Smooth bezel. The smooth fixed bezel matches the Air-King's clean aviation profile, with a polished steel finish across the whole bezel.

Sapphire crystal. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating and reads clear and glare-free like the genuine crystal under direct light.

Air King 5500 vs 14000

The Rolex Air King 5500 and 14000 are both Air King watch models made by Rolex. The primary difference between them is the period in which they were manufactured and the movement used. The Rolex Air King 5500 enjoyed a long production run from the 1950s to the late 1980s and features a non-chronometer movement. Conversely, the Rolex Air King 14000 was produced from the late 1980s until the mid-2000s and boasts a chronometer-rated movement.

Air King 116900 vs 126900

The Rolex Air King 116900 and 126900 are both contemporary editions of the Air King watch with the Bloodhound-inspired dial decorated with Arabic numeral hour markers and sporty Mercedes hands. What sets them apart are various changes to the dial, case, and movement. Ref. 116900 shares the same case and movement (caliber 3131) as the Milgauss, which means that it is also anti-magnetic up to 1,000 gauss. Ref. 126900 has a brand-new case developed just for the Air-King, complete with crown guards and the next-generation caliber 3230 movement with a longer power reserve. You will also spot several small differences between the hour markers on each dial.
