Rolex signified its more economical timepieces with the text "Precision" printed on the dial. These watches carried in-house movements that were well-made but manually wound. This was until the Air-King was introduced to the world in 1957 and became the premier model of Rolex’s more affordable Precision model range. These watches still featured the "Precision" text, but the Air-King housed a fully automatic movement. Although the rest of the Precision model line eventually fizzled out, the modest Air-King has been updated and evolved over the years and remains a fixture within the Rolex lineup today.

CASE & BRACELET

The excellent case retains balanced and thick lugs that display minimal signs of previous polishing or signs of use. The engine-turned stainless steel bezel is also in excellent condition, maintaining crisp finishing with only gentle signs of previous use present. The original Rolex 78350 Oyster bracelet with 557B end pieces retains 12 links that show no stretch and will fit up to a 7 1/4-inch wrist.

DIAL & HANDS

The original grey sunburst dial is in exceptional condition showing no damage or notable age. The tritium lume plots remain a bright eggshell color and exhibit no degradation when inspected under U.V. light. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly and exhibit no degradation under U.V. light inspection.

ACCESSORIES 

None. The watch is keeping time perfectly, backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
