The **Rolex Air-King 126900** is a wristwatch by [[Rolex]].

This "New Air-King" was presented on the [[Watches & Wonders]] [[2022]]. It is equipped with the calibre [[Rolex 3230]], which was released in [[2020]] and was fitted on this model from 2022.

Calibre 3230 (based on the [[Rolex 3235]]) incorporates the patented [[Chronergy]] escapement, which combines high energy efficiency with great dependability. Made of nickel-phosphorus, it is also insensitive to magnetic fields. The movement is fitted with an optimized blue [[Parachrom]] hairspring, manufactured by Rolex in a paramagnetic alloy that makes it up to 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring in case of shocks. The blue Parachrom hairspring is equipped with a Rolex overcoil, ensuring the calibre’s regularity in any position. The oscillator is fitted on the Rolex-designed, patented high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, increasing the movement’s shock resistance.
