The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

It's a sober watch
The only Rolex with the brand written in green and yellow logo. The lollypop minute hand is also green.
We appreciate the 3 - 6 - 9 which really lights up in the dark.
Its bracelet reveals the brand but it's a model that we rarely see.
This new model has a protected crown,
It's a legendary model that I recommend.
After the Datejust, this is the Rolex to own.


A Rolex apart

Accustomed to round sports watches with black backgrounds, this Cartier breaks my usual codes: square shape, white background, Roman numerals... it is a watch of incredible elegance, moreover it is unclassifiable. Cartier is a real watch manufacturer and this idea takes on its full meaning when you put it on your wrist.

Shake up the codes

Here is a purchase that was a crush or even an impulsive one!
The type of purchase that makes you wonder "why"...
In hindsight, the comic book character "Snoopy" called upon my emotional memory. A comic strip that few remember.
The caliber is the robust 4R36, this watch was released in few copies, however this is not what motivated the "impulsive" purchase. We like to watch it turn and its finish

An original Seiko

Hello, Moonswatch collector while agreeing to skip the pink and the yellow, the Neptune is the rarest.
Obviously no limited series, you just have to be patient and have luck. This blue is a real success. The detractors will say that it is only marketing ... do not listen to them! Treat yourself, the Neptune or any Moonwatch will get you some

The Moonswatch that discolored

I was 12 years old when I was given this Seamaster. At the time I had no idea what an incredible gift I was getting. It has survived the decades and is as good as new. This Omega had been designed for the French army but it was not selected. This timepiece is a symbol for me that I hope I will tell about one day, on Xavier's YouTube channel.

The most sentimental!

I invite everyone to enter the magical world of the moonswatch. Of course the quality/price ratio is questionable but the proportions are preserved.
I just blame the Jupiter for not having more readable hands. However it is a "must have" for any solar system and Omega enthusiast

The Rolex brand was created in 1905 in London by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis. It is today based in Geneva, Switzerland, and is recognized worldwide as one of the leading manufacturers of luxury watches. Rolex, often called the &ldquo;Crown brand&rdquo;, is synonymous with prestige, innovation and unparalleled reliability in the watchmaking world.
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Rolex brand</h2>
The year 1926 marked an important turning point for the brand with the launch of the first waterproof watch, the Rolex Oyster. The robustness and reliability of this watch were spectacularly demonstrated in 1927 when Mercedes Gleitze, a British swimmer, crossed the English Channel with a Rolex Oyster on her wrist.
In 1945, Rolex launched the Datejust, the first automatic watch to indicate the date in a window on the dial. In 1953, Rolex introduced the Submariner watch, capable of withstanding depths of 100 meters. The same year, the brand presented the Explorer watch in homage to the first successful ascent of Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, equipped with Rolex watches.
Since its beginnings, Rolex is behind more than 400 patents, attesting to a perpetual search for improvement to guarantee its models unrivaled reliability. This DNA has allowed the brand to launch models that have marked watchmaking history and often become true myths such as the Rolex Daytona or the Rolex GMT-Master.
Since its creation and in particular with exceptional 50s in terms of innovations, Rolex has continued to launch new models and in particular:

<h2 dir="ltr">What are the iconic models of the Rolex brand?&nbsp;</h2>
Rolex offers a variety of models, each with its own distinctive features. The main and most sought-after models are:

<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/day-date_36">Rolex Day-Date</a></h3>
The Rolex Day-Date, also nicknamed <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/day_date">Rolex President</a>&nbsp;due to its association with many heads of state and influential figures, is another iconic watch from the Rolex brand. It is famous for displaying both the date and the day of the week in full, in addition to the time. The day of the week is usually indicated in full, adding a distinctive touch to its dial.
Traditionally, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/day-date_36">Day-Date</a> is offered in an 18-carat gold case, whether in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold or platinum. This characteristic gives it a luxurious and prestigious look. The Day-Date bracelet called President is an iconic bracelet specially designed for this model, composed of three large and robust semi-circular links. The Rolex Day-Date is equipped with an in-house automatic movement, manufactured by Rolex. These movements are certified Superlative Chronometer for their exceptional precision of -2/+2 seconds per day.
The Rolex Day-Date is available with a wide range of dials, including classic dials with stick indexes, Roman numeral dials, as well as more contemporary dials with engraved designs.

<h3 dir="ltr">Rolex Oyster Perpetual</h3>
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the epitome of the classic Rolex watch, with a 28-41mm Oystersteel case, water resistance up to 10 ATM meters, Oyster bracelet, caliber 3230 automatic movement, and an electric blue dial with luminous indexes. The Oyster Perpetual or OP is undoubtedly the little sister of the Rolex Datejust with a more discreet identity and a diversity of dials which have evolved over time into multiple colors and tones. The Oyster Perpetual collection models, not escaping the exceptionally strong demand for Rolex watches, are difficult to find, particularly for the most sought-after colors such as &ldquo;Tiffany&rdquo; blue.
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/cellini_dual_time">Rolex Cellini</a></h3>
The Rolex Cellini is distinguished by its 39 mm 18-carat Everose gold case, its water resistance up to 50 meters, its brown alligator leather strap with 18-carat gold buckle, its automatic mechanical movement caliber 3132 , its white lacquered dial with applied indexes and dauphine hands.
The collection Cellini is Rolex's line of dress watches, dedicated to the art of fine watchmaking. It has evolved over time, moving from rectangular or asymmetrical watches to a more classic collection including the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/cellini_moonphase">Rolex Cellini Moonphase</a>. All models in the Cellini collection pay homage to traditional watchmaking craftsmanship while bringing the technical perfection and contemporary aesthetics of Rolex. The Cellini is ideal for formal occasions and for those who appreciate timeless elegance and refined simplicity.
Despite a great diversity of models since its beginnings in the 1960s, the Cellini collection has struggled to find its place alongside the iconic Rolex models, and was discontinued in March 2023 to be replaced by the Rolex 1908.
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/sea-dweller">Rolex Sea-Dweller</a></h3>
The Rolex Sea-Dweller is a professional diving watch, with a 43 mm Oystersteel case, water resistance up to 4,000 feet, an Oyster bracelet with Rolex Glidelock and Fliplock extension system, an automatic movement caliber 3235, a black dial with luminous indexes, and a unidirectional rotating bezel with black Cerachrom disc.
Since its launch in 1967, the Sea-Dweller or "SD" incorporates a helium valve very useful for professional saturation divers who sometimes have to spend several days in a decompression airlock. The helium molecules being so small - they have made their way inside the casing - must exit through this valve instead of decompressing inside the casing and thus damaging it by making it lose its watertightness. .
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/deepsea">Rolex Deepsea</a></h3>
Finally, the Rolex Deepsea is the ultimate diver's watch, with a 44mm Oystersteel case, impressive water resistance up to 12,800 feet, an Oyster bracelet with Rolex Glidelock and Fliplock extension system, an automatic caliber 3235 movement, a D-blue dial gradient from blue to black, and a unidirectional rotating bezel with black Cerachrom disc.
The Rolex Deepsea is inseparable from director James Cameron known worldwide for numerous films including &ldquo;Titanic&rdquo;. Out of passion for the abyss and to prepare the film &ldquo;Abyss&rdquo;, he co-financed with Rolex an expedition to the Mariana Trench (the deepest place in the earth's crust at -10,908 meters). The prototype&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/deepsea_challenge/126067">Rolex Deepsea Challenge</a> having been attached to the submarine used by Cameron. Rolex will use the patents tested during this expedition to launch the Rolex Deepsea.
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/perpetual-1908">Rolex Perpetual 1908</a></h3>
The Rolex Perpetual 1908 is an elegant and contemporary watch, part of the Rolex Perpetual collection. Here are its main characteristics. The watch sports a slim 18-carat (750/000) yellow or white gold case, measuring 39mm in diameter, with graceful lines and a subtly fluted bezel. The dial is available in intense white or intense black, featuring Arabic numerals 3, 9 and 12 as well as faceted indexes.
The Perpetual 1908 is equipped with caliber 7140, an automatic movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. It incorporates technological innovations such as the Chronergy escapement and the Syloxi silicon hairspring for high precision and shock resistance. Like all Rolex models, the 1908 benefits from the Rolex &ldquo;Certified Chronometer&rdquo; certification which guarantees performance in terms of precision of -2/2 seconds per day.
The Rolex Perpetual 1908 combines tradition and modernity in a timeless design, embodying the brand's watchmaking excellence and celebrating its aesthetic heritage.
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Rolex watch cost?&nbsp;</h2>
Prices for new Rolex watches change every year, but most Rolex models cost between $ 6,000 and $ 40,000. A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/oyster_perpetual">Rolex Oyster Perpetual</a> costs around $ 5,000, while a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/day-date_40">Rolex Day-Date 40</a> in yellow gold costs almost $ 40,000.

(Updated March 2025)

The first of a collection. On an oyster base, this watch sometimes disliked by some, this professional watch has all of a great! It was the gateway to a captivating passion for watchmaking. A pleasure to put on the wrist, setting the time has become a real ritual every time I put it on. Not just a heritage watch but a real heritage that is part of my daily life.

Rolex AirKing model 116900

While I was looking for a Rolex OP 36 with a blue dial, unfortunately unobtainable… and unavailable… and I had almost lost all hope of having one, I happened to come across this very beautiful second-hand Rolex Air King in Saint Malo. Without further ado, I jumped at the chance. A magnificent blue dial, little literature, a balance and simplicity of formidable efficiency. I love it. Very light watch. Obviously given its size of 34mm.

A really nice little watch!

My first foray into the world of Rolex with this Air-King 126900.

An extremely effective model that, in my humble opinion, is far too under-seen.

I love this black lacquered dial; admittedly busy, but the touches of yellow and green make it a unique model in the Rolex catalog.
If I had to recommend Rolex for the next Air-King? Let's be bold and go for a 39mm instead of the current 40mm 😊

The Rolex that doesn't get enough attention!

How can I tell you about my new acquisition without telling you about the story that goes with it.
Bought 2 and a half years after my Tudor (review also available), I had in mind to buy a new watch for my 22nd birthday, the cycle of renewal never really ending. After much research, I finally had in mind to take an oyster perpetual 36mm black dial. Having put myself on a wish list in a Parisian boutique, I was called 1 month later. I bought it and, after wearing it for a month, I realized that the size did not suit me. Too small, less homogeneous case, finally I had to change for a larger model.

It was by remembering my first contact with the brand with the crown that I thought of the Air King. First Rolex I saw on my friend's wrist in high school (he will recognize himself), which I found too thick at the time but whose dial enchanted me, with its pretty green seconds hand.
What a stroke of luck that this model with an atypical dial is being reworked in 2022. Thinner case (exit the Milgauss case), more incisive horns, new 3230 movement and its 70 hours of power reserve, appearance of the crown protector as well as the Oysterlock clasp and the Easylink extension, essential in summer as well as the Chromalight applique on the numbers 3/6/9 for better visibility.

The choice was therefore made, and it was on this Air-King 126900 that he had fallen.

So I registered on the list in March, and was called in August to come and collect it. I found it really fast, me who expected a minimum delay of one year as announced.

Since that day I am very happy with it, it is robust, reliable (hardly drifts) and the completely brushed oyster bracelet looks so good in the sun. A Rolex like no other that will always find its place on any occasion.

Rolex Air King 126900

ROLEX AIR KING controversial history and
Identity mix!!!!

A professional entry-level model but not only!!!

An atypical black background, Arabic numerals punctuate, five by five, the display of the minutes.

The case with a diameter of 40 millimeters that of the GMT and its smooth bezel are irremediably reminiscent of the Milgauss.

The design is directly inspired by the British project 'Bloodhound SSC'.

The racing car was more like a rocket propelled by no less than 135,000 horsepower!

Five essential improvements will reassure fans of the brand.

The crown protection or more precisely, as the press kit poetically describes it, "the shoulder of the crown protection". With it ends any possible comparison with the Milgauss line.

This key element propels the new Air-King directly into the world of Rolex ‘Oyster Perpetual Professionnelle’ watches.

The three-link Oyster bracelet is now equipped with the Oysterlock safety clasp with folding buckle, which, according to the brand, is “designed by Rolex and patented, preventing any involuntary opening. It has the Easylink comfort quick extension, developed by the brand, which allows its length to be easily adjusted by approximately 5 mm”.

All the Arabic numerals are adorned with Chromalight, a substance developed by Rolex to improve reading “in all circumstances”.

The oversized ’3-6-9’ numerals are retained while the ‘5’ minute marker perfects its integration with the addition of a ‘0’, creating an effect of symmetry with that of the ‘55’ minutes.

This ultimate Air-King is equipped with the caliber 3230, bringing together all of the brand's innovations and presented two years earlier.

Its 'Chronergy' escapement combines, in the brand's own words, "high energy efficiency with high operational safety".

The caliber 3230 thus defends a solid power reserve of 70 hours, facilitated by the new architecture of its barrel.

The thickness of the new case has been reduced from 13 to 11.7 mm.

The PRO ROLEX will say that this watch has no history and interest!!! we are talking about aviation ✈️ also an automobile project 🏎️!!!!!
But today it is a must-have in a collection for enthusiasts like me.



ROLEX AIR KING 126900 

Ollech &amp; Wajs est une maison horlog&egrave;re suisse fond&eacute;e en 1956 &agrave; Zurich par Joseph Ollech et Albert Wajs ; d&rsquo;abord d&eacute;taillant puis acteur de la vente par correspondance, le duo a b&acirc;ti sa r&eacute;putation sur des montres &laquo; tool &raquo; robustes &mdash; plongeuses, militaires, d&rsquo;aviation &mdash; vendues aux particuliers comme aux forces arm&eacute;es, avant d&rsquo;orchestrer un retour au premier plan au cours des ann&eacute;es 2010 avec une gamme contemporaine qui r&eacute;active les signatures historiques.
<h3>Zurich, Stockerstrasse et la vente par correspondance&thinsp;: les d&eacute;buts d&rsquo;un label outil</h3>
D&egrave;s l&rsquo;ouverture de leur petite boutique zurichoise, les fondateurs s&rsquo;attachent &agrave; proposer des montres fiables &agrave; prix tenu, puis &eacute;tendent rapidement l&rsquo;activit&eacute; vers le courrier et les annonces sp&eacute;cialis&eacute;es, et cette distribution directe fa&ccedil;on &laquo; mail-order &raquo; deviendra l&rsquo;un des marqueurs durables de la marque.&nbsp;Le basculement d&rsquo;un r&ocirc;le de d&eacute;taillant vers la cr&eacute;ation de montres sous leur propre nom s&rsquo;op&egrave;re en quelques ann&eacute;es, avec des lignes d&eacute;di&eacute;es aux usages concrets (terrain, mer, cockpit) et une construction volontairement simple et r&eacute;parable, et l&rsquo;obsession est moins la &laquo; complication &raquo; que l&rsquo;endurance et la lisibilit&eacute;.
Dans les ann&eacute;es 1960, la diffusion s&rsquo;&eacute;tend aux bases am&eacute;ricaines et aux PX, o&ugrave; des montres militaires et de plong&eacute;e sign&eacute;es O&amp;W trouvent un public pr&ecirc;t &agrave; les &eacute;prouver en conditions r&eacute;elles, et cette validation par l&rsquo;usage contribue &agrave; installer l&rsquo;image d&rsquo;un outil professionnel abordable.
<h3>Caribbean 1000 et Ocean Graph&thinsp;: la profondeur, la d&eacute;compression et l&rsquo;imaginaire des grandes eaux</h3>
Au milieu des sixties, la maison se distingue par des plongeuses d&rsquo;avant-garde dont la Ollech &amp; Wajs Caribbean 1000, pi&egrave;ce record annonc&eacute;e pour 1000 m qui cristallise l&rsquo;ambition technique de l&rsquo;&eacute;poque et installe le nom O&amp;W dans le paysage de la plong&eacute;e sportive comme professionnelle, et l&rsquo;association avec des partenaires sp&eacute;cialis&eacute;s nourrit une esth&eacute;tique rationnelle et sans fioritures.
Dans la m&ecirc;me veine, l&rsquo;Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph introduit une lunette et une logique de lecture con&ccedil;ues pour accompagner la mont&eacute;e du plongeur et les paliers de d&eacute;compression, ancrant la montre dans un usage pr&eacute;cis plut&ocirc;t que dans l&rsquo;&eacute;vocation d&eacute;corative de la mer, et le cadran reste clair pour pr&eacute;server l&rsquo;instantan&eacute;it&eacute; de la lecture sous l&rsquo;eau.
Ces r&eacute;f&eacute;rences historiques, souvent cit&eacute;es et collectionn&eacute;es aujourd&rsquo;hui, ont fa&ccedil;onn&eacute; un langage fait de bo&icirc;tiers costauds, d&rsquo;&eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute;s s&eacute;rieuses, de bracelets adapt&eacute;s et de typographies contrast&eacute;es qui affleurent encore dans les mod&egrave;les actuels, et c&rsquo;est cette continuit&eacute; de &laquo; montre-outil &raquo; qui permet de relier le pass&eacute; et le pr&eacute;sent.
<h3>Relance contemporaine, ancrage helv&eacute;tique et cha&icirc;ne courte&thinsp;: le retour d&rsquo;O&amp;W</h3>
Apr&egrave;s avoir travers&eacute; la p&eacute;riode quartz et ralenti la cadence, la marque est reprise par Charles Le Menestrel et relanc&eacute;e &agrave; la fin des ann&eacute;es 2010 avec la volont&eacute; explicite de prolonger l&rsquo;esprit des origines plut&ocirc;t que de s&rsquo;&eacute;parpiller en s&eacute;ries cosm&eacute;tiques, et&nbsp;le bureau de cr&eacute;ation reste &agrave; Zurich tandis que l&rsquo;assemblage et les r&eacute;glages s&rsquo;effectuent dans le Jura suisse.
La d&eacute;marche privil&eacute;gie des mouvements automatiques suisses &eacute;prouv&eacute;s, une architecture de bo&icirc;te simple &agrave; entretenir, des &eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute;s cr&eacute;dibles et des bracelets &agrave; la fois robustes et faciles &agrave; vivre au quotidien, et le cahier des charges reprend la triade historique : fiabilit&eacute;, lisibilit&eacute;, r&eacute;parabilit&eacute;.
La relance ne se contente pas de &laquo; r&eacute;&eacute;ditions &raquo; au millim&egrave;tre : elle propose des montres nouvelles inspir&eacute;es des usages historiques, rehausse le soin apport&eacute; aux finitions et met en avant un contr&ocirc;le qualit&eacute; par &eacute;tapes, et le r&eacute;sultat vise une modernit&eacute; pragmatique qui &eacute;vite le pastiche.
<h3>P-101, P-104, Navichron, C-1000 et Ocean Graph&thinsp;: familles actuelles et usages concrets</h3>
Les premi&egrave;res r&eacute;f&eacute;rences de l&rsquo;&egrave;re r&eacute;cente prennent la forme de montres d&rsquo;aviation &agrave; taille contenue, Ollech &amp; Wajs P-101 et Ollech &amp; Wajs P-104, qui relecturent les codes cockpit dans une bo&icirc;te polyvalente autour de 39&ndash;40 mm avec saphir et couronne viss&eacute;e, et elles ciblent une lecture instrumentale et une r&eacute;sistance suffisante pour le quotidien.
C&ocirc;t&eacute; plong&eacute;e, la maison propose aujourd&rsquo;hui la Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000 (ainsi que des &eacute;ditions anniversaires) comme incarnation contemporaine de l&rsquo;esprit Caribbean : valves, joints, fonds viss&eacute;s et traitements soign&eacute;s s&rsquo;additionnent pour offrir un instrument de mer moderne, et le cadran conserve l&rsquo;intelligibilit&eacute; qui a fait la r&eacute;putation de la lign&eacute;e.
En parall&egrave;le, l&rsquo;Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph revient sous une forme actualis&eacute;e, avec sa logique de lecture li&eacute;e &agrave; la d&eacute;compression qui en fait une plongeuse de caract&egrave;re imm&eacute;diatement reconnaissable au poignet, et cette signature d&rsquo;usage distingue le mod&egrave;le dans un segment satur&eacute;.
La famille Ollech &amp; Wajs Navichron s&rsquo;adresse &agrave; celles et ceux qui veulent un chronographe &laquo; outil &raquo; lisible, fid&egrave;le &agrave; l&rsquo;esprit O&amp;W sans exc&egrave;s de complexit&eacute;, avec une ergonomie de poussoirs travaill&eacute;e et une &eacute;chelle claire pour structurer le temps court, et le dessin reste volontairement pratique plut&ocirc;t que d&eacute;monstratif.
<ul>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs P-101 &mdash; pilote contemporain, diam&egrave;tre contenu, saphir, r&eacute;sistance &agrave; l&rsquo;eau &eacute;lev&eacute;e, cadran tr&egrave;s lisible, usage &laquo; bureau-terrain &raquo;.</li>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs P-104 &mdash; variante d&rsquo;aviation avec autre signature de lunette et de marquages, m&ecirc;me esprit robuste.</li>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000 &mdash; plongeuse moderne inspir&eacute;e de la Caribbean, &eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; pouss&eacute;e et lecture directe.</li>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph &mdash; plongeuse instrumentale &agrave; logique de d&eacute;compression, identit&eacute; forte au poignet.</li>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs Navichron &mdash; chronographe &laquo; tool &raquo;, cadran a&eacute;r&eacute; et poussoirs francs, lisibilit&eacute; du temps court.</li>
</ul>
Au-del&agrave; des noms, l&rsquo;important est l&rsquo;usage : pilote pour la lisibilit&eacute; &agrave; plat et la r&eacute;sistance aux chocs de la vie active, plongeuse pour l&rsquo;eau et la robustesse, chronographe pour rythmer les t&acirc;ches et les entra&icirc;nements, et ce d&eacute;coupage aide &agrave; choisir une O&amp;W en fonction d&rsquo;un sc&eacute;nario r&eacute;el plut&ocirc;t que d&rsquo;un simple style.

<h3>Guide de choix&thinsp;: sc&eacute;nario d&rsquo;usage, lisibilit&eacute; et ergonomie</h3>
Commencez par d&eacute;finir l&rsquo;environnement principal : eau, cockpit, bureau-terrain ou sport chronom&eacute;tr&eacute; ; si l&rsquo;eau domine, une Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000 ou une Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph seront naturelles, tandis que P-101/P-104 conviendront aux lectures rapides et aux cadrans &eacute;pur&eacute;s, et le chronographe Navichron servira aux temps courts et aux routines fractionn&eacute;es.
Validez ensuite la lisibilit&eacute; : contraste aiguilles/fond, taille des index, absence de surcharge, visibilit&eacute; de la minuterie et coh&eacute;rence de la lunette avec l&rsquo;usage r&eacute;el, et faites le test &laquo; un m&egrave;tre/un coup d&rsquo;&oelig;il &raquo; en lumi&egrave;re naturelle avant d&rsquo;arr&ecirc;ter votre choix.
Enfin, essayez la montre pour jauger l&rsquo;assise (corne-&agrave;-corne), la couronne dans la paume, la souplesse du bracelet et le tomb&eacute; g&eacute;n&eacute;ral avec vos manches et vos activit&eacute;s, et gardez la version que vous oubliez le plus vite une fois port&eacute;e.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Ollech &amp; Wajs demeure identifiable par sa vocation d&rsquo;outil : des montres pens&eacute;es pour l&rsquo;usage, lisibles, robustes et suivies par une cha&icirc;ne suisse claire.

(Mise &agrave; jour Ao&ucirc;t 2025)

Ollech &amp; Wajs is a Swiss watch company founded in 1956 in Zurich by Joseph Ollech and Albert Wajs; initially a retailer and then a mail-order operator, the duo built a reputation on robust tool watches&mdash;divers, military pieces and pilot instruments&mdash;sold to civilians and service members alike, before orchestrating a modern comeback in the late 2010s with a contemporary range that revives the brand&rsquo;s historic signatures.
<h3>Zurich, Stockerstrasse and mail order: the beginnings of a tool-driven label</h3>
From their small Zurich storefront, the founders soon moved from selling other brands to shipping their own watches by post, and this direct &ldquo;mail-order&rdquo; route became a lasting hallmark of the company.&nbsp;The shift from retailing to making watches under their own name took only a few years, with dedicated lines for concrete use cases (field, sea, cockpit) and constructions that favoured simple, repairable mechanics, and the focus was less on &ldquo;complication&rdquo; than on endurance and clarity.
In the 1960s, distribution extended to US military PX stores, where O&amp;W military and dive watches were tried in real-world conditions by service members, and this usage-led validation helped cement the image of an affordable professional instrument.
<h3>Caribbean 1000 and Ocean Graph: depth, decompression and the great-waters playbook</h3>
By the mid-sixties the brand stood out with cutting-edge divers, notably the Ollech &amp; Wajs Caribbean 1000, a thousand-metre-rated watch that crystallised the era&rsquo;s technical ambition and lodged the O&amp;W name in both recreational and professional diving, and partnerships with specialist makers fed a rational, no-nonsense aesthetic.
In the same spirit, the Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph brought a bezel and reading logic tailored to ascent and decompression stops, rooting the watch in a specific task rather than mere maritime d&eacute;cor, and the dial stayed clean to preserve underwater glance legibility.
These historic references&mdash;often cited and collected today&mdash;shaped a language of stout cases, serious water-resistance, practical bracelets and high-contrast typography that still surfaces in current models, and this through-line of &ldquo;tool first&rdquo; connects past to present.
<h3>Contemporary relaunch, Swiss anchoring and a short chain: O&amp;W&rsquo;s return</h3>
After weathering the quartz era and slowing down, the brand was revived in the late 2010s by Charles Le Menestrel with the explicit aim of extending the founding spirit rather than scattering into cosmetic runs, and&nbsp;design remains in Zurich while assembly and adjustment take place in the Swiss Jura.
The approach favours proven Swiss automatic movements, serviceable case architecture, credible water-resistance and bracelets built for comfort and durability, and the specification re-embraces the classic triad: reliability, legibility, serviceability.&nbsp;The comeback is not a millimetre-for-millimetre facsimile exercise; instead, it offers new watches inspired by historic use, upgrades finishing and emphasises stepwise quality control, and the outcome is a pragmatic modernity that avoids pastiche.
<h3>P-101, P-104, Navichron, C-1000 and Ocean Graph: today&rsquo;s families and real use</h3>
The first modern releases took the form of compact pilot watches, the Ollech &amp; Wajs P-101 and Ollech &amp; Wajs P-104, which reinterpret cockpit codes in versatile 39&ndash;40 mm cases with sapphire and screw-down crowns, and they target instrumental reading and all-day resilience.
On the dive side, the brand offers the Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000 (along with anniversary editions) as a contemporary take on the Caribbean ethos: seals, casebacks, and careful treatment combine into a modern sea instrument, and the dial retains the intelligibility that made the line&rsquo;s reputation.
In parallel, the Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph returned in an updated form, with its decompression-centred readout making for an instantly recognisable diver on the wrist, and this task-specific signature sets it apart in a crowded segment.
The Ollech &amp; Wajs Navichron family serves those who want a readable, work-ready chronograph true to the O&amp;W spirit, with well-judged pushers and crisp scales for short-time duties, and the design stays deliberately practical rather than showy.
<ul>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs P-101 &mdash; contemporary pilot, compact diameter, sapphire, strong water-resistance, very legible dial for desk-to-field wear.</li>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs P-104 &mdash; aviation variant with a different bezel and markings signature, same robust intent.</li>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000 &mdash; modern diver inspired by the Caribbean, serious water-proofing and direct readout.</li>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph &mdash; instrumental diver with decompression logic, strong identity on the wrist.</li>
<li>Ollech &amp; Wajs Navichron &mdash; &ldquo;tool&rdquo; chronograph, open dial and assertive pushers, clarity in short-time work.</li>
</ul>
Beyond names, what matters is use: a pilot for flat-plane readability and shock tolerance in active life; a diver for water and sturdiness; a chronograph to pace tasks and training, and this split helps pick an O&amp;W by real scenario rather than by style alone.
<h3>Tool-watch signature: materials, movements, dimensions and straps</h3>
Current cases prioritise steel, sober surface treatments, functional bezels and sapphire crystals, with diameters largely between 39 and 42 mm to sustain daily versatility, and on-wrist stability comes from disciplined lug spans and well-matched bracelets.
Mechanically, the brand uses modern, Swiss automatic calibres suited to intensive use&mdash;some adjusted or certified depending on versions&mdash;while ensuring that any competent watchmaker can service them, and this pragmatic mechanics reflects the utilitarian brief.
Bracelets&mdash;steel, RAF/NATO-type textile or rubber&mdash;are chosen for security, water-readiness and comfort, with buckles and end-links designed to minimise hot-spots, and modularity lets a single watch adapt to very different contexts.
<h3>Positioning, prices, channels and buyer profiles</h3>
O&amp;W sits in a &ldquo;quality tool&rdquo; segment: tidy finishing without ostentation, coherent spec sheets, tight quality control and messaging anchored in use rather than prestige, and the value proposition seeks instrument credibility rather than luxury posturing.
Distribution blends direct online sales with a small partner network and a didactic narrative about heritage and use, and this short channel supports coherent pricing and a clear link to the workshop.&nbsp;The core audience mixes owners who prefer watches to &ldquo;do&rdquo; rather than to &ldquo;show,&rdquo; recreational divers, travellers who prize sturdiness and professionals who need reliable, serviceable objects, and the brand resonates with those who trust proof of wear over glossy claims.
<h3>Selection guide: use case, legibility and ergonomics</h3>
Start by mapping your main environment&mdash;water, cockpit, desk-to-field or timed sport; if water rules, a Ollech &amp; Wajs C-1000 or Ollech &amp; Wajs Ocean Graph is natural, whereas P-101/P-104 suit quick, uncluttered reads, and the Navichron chronograph serves intervals and structured routines.
Next validate legibility: hand-to-dial contrast, index size, minimal clutter, minute track visibility and bezel logic that matches how you actually use it, and run the &ldquo;one-metre/one-glance&rdquo; test in natural light before deciding.
Finally, try the watch to judge stance (lug-to-lug), crown feel in the palm, bracelet suppleness and how it sits with sleeves and tasks, and keep the version you forget the fastest once strapped on.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Ollech &amp; Wajs remains identifiable by its purpose-built vocation: watches made for use&mdash;readable, robust and supported by a clear Swiss chain. Between divers that channel the Caribbean legacy, modern pilot pieces and work-ready chronographs, the range is organised simply around real-world scenarios. To choose well, start with where you&rsquo;ll wear it, test clarity and comfort, then tune material and strap; you&rsquo;ll land on a capable instrument that ages well. To square these cues with long-term ownership feedback, a helpful compass remains Dialicious customer reviews.

(Updated August 2025)

Rolex Air-King is a model launched in 1945 in Geneva, conceived as a simple, legible pilot&rsquo;s watch paying tribute to the pioneers of aviation; today it delivers a large navigational minute track, a 100 m Oyster case and a latest-generation self-winding movement within an instantly recognizable Professional-watch aesthetic.
<h3>Pilot design: minute scale, 3-6-9 numerals and color signature</h3>
The contemporary Air-King&rsquo;s identity starts with its black dial: a prominent outer minutes track for navigational readings, oversized Arabic 3-6-9 numerals and Chromalight hands/markers for immediate legibility; the &ldquo;Air-King&rdquo; script reprises the historic lettering, while the yellow crown and green &ldquo;Rolex&rdquo; add a distinctive instrumental touch. Since 2022, the &ldquo;05&rdquo; at five minutes visually balances the display and tightens overall legibility.
<h3>Case, bracelet and daily comfort</h3>
The latest Air-King adopts a 40 mm Oystersteel case with crown guards, straighter case flanks and refined lugs, paired to a solid-link Oyster bracelet and Oysterlock clasp with 5 mm Easylink extension; 100 m water-resistance and the Twinlock crown secure daily use, while a flat sapphire crystal preserves dial clarity. The footprint remains versatile&mdash;assertive yet easy to wear across a wide range of wrists.
On-wrist stability comes from the early bracelet drop and a balanced mid-case; the clasp&rsquo;s fine adjustment smooths transitions between air-con and outside heat, and the cleaner case sides of the new iteration push the model further into the &ldquo;Professional&rdquo; family. The net effect is a tougher, more confidence-inspiring tool feel.
<h3>Movements and magnetic resilience</h3>
Reference 126900 uses caliber 3230 (automatic, 4 Hz, ~70-hour reserve) with a paramagnetic Parachrom hairspring and high-efficiency Chronergy escapement; accuracy and autonomy improve markedly over the previous generation while maintaining Rolex&rsquo;s &ldquo;Superlative Chronometer&rdquo; standard. The watch blends rate stability, energy efficiency and extended service intervals.
Reference 116900 (2016&ndash;2022) ran caliber 3131 (~48 h) and incorporated an internal anti-magnetic shielding solution from the technical realm; the 3230&rsquo;s architecture and materials offer intrinsic paramagnetic behavior, rendering certain &ldquo;cage&rdquo; approaches unnecessary while keeping real-world protection goals. In both eras, the Air-King is engineered for reliability amid everyday electromagnetic exposure.
<h3>Chronological milestones and main models (1945&ndash;2025)</h3>
(1945) Rolex Air-King First 34 mm generation:
Born at the end of WWII as a tribute to British pilots, the inaugural Air-King defined a clean three-hand Oyster for daily and navigational use; a 34 mm case, restrained dials and an Oyster bracelet set the foundations for a durable, understated line prized for reliability. Rolex Air-King 4925.
(1957/1958) Rolex Air-King &ldquo;Precision&rdquo; 34 mm:
With the long-running 5500, the Air-King became Rolex&rsquo;s &ldquo;purist&rdquo; face: 34 mm, minimal dial, automatic 15xx calibers and &ldquo;Precision/Super Precision&rdquo; text depending on market; the &ldquo;nothing extra&mdash;just time&rdquo; brief built a reputation for toughness, discretion and everyday versatility. Rolex Air-King 5500.
(1989) Rolex Air-King Sapphire &amp; Caliber 3000:
The 14000 replaced the 5500, adding a sapphire crystal (in lieu of acrylic), a sharpened 34 mm case and the modern caliber 3000, while keeping the date-less, time-only formula; sibling 14010 (engine-turned bezel) and sober dials carried the dressed-tool DNA forward. Rolex Air-King 14000.
(2007) Rolex Air-King &ldquo;1142xx&rdquo; 34 mm:
A fresh step: caliber 3130, 100 m rating, sapphire and broader dial options (including concentric motifs), still positioned as Rolex&rsquo;s simple, robust entry point; this family stayed in the catalog until 2014 before a hiatus. Rolex Air-King 114200.
(2014) Rolex Air-King Production pause:
The Air-King was temporarily removed, with the Oyster Perpetual line taking over as the pure three-hand &ldquo;entry&rdquo; Rolex; on the pre-owned market, late 34 mm pieces and 14000/14010 references drew interest for discreet wear and universal portability.
(2016) Rolex Air-King &ldquo;Bloodhound-dial&rdquo; 40 mm:
A bold return: 40 mm diameter, black &ldquo;navigation&rdquo; dial mixing minutes track and 3-6-9, green &ldquo;Rolex&rdquo; and yellow crown, a technical-leaning case and the 3131 with anti-magnetic protections; the Air-King entered the &ldquo;Professional&rdquo; space with unmistakable instrument vibes. Rolex Air-King 116900.
(2022) Rolex Air-King Slimmer case &amp; crown guards:
Structural update: crown guards, straighter case sides, a broader bracelet with Oysterlock clasp, applied numerals and now-lumed 3-6-9; the &ldquo;05&rdquo; at five minutes balances the dial as caliber 3230 takes power reserve to ~70 hours. Rolex Air-King 126900.
(2025) Rolex Air-King Current line &amp; continuity:
The 126900 stands as the modern synthesis: wearable 40 mm, clear pilot identity, upgraded clasp comfort and a more uniform low-light dial; it remains a compelling gateway to the Professional family for those seeking a complication-free instrumental Rolex. Rolex Air-King 126900.
<h3>Advice: size, legibility, use-case and generations</h3>
Favor compact understatement? The 34 mm (14000/114200) deliver easy under-cuff wear and a quietly refined presence for everyday life. If your wrist is slender or shirts are frequent, these generations are delightfully effortless.
Prefer a &ldquo;Pro&rdquo; attitude? The 116900 (2016&ndash;2022) brings the instrument-like dial and a more technical case; it suits those who want minutes-first readability and a strong, distinctive aesthetic. Make sure you enjoy the green/yellow accents and high-contrast layout.
Want the current sweet spot? The 126900 adds crown guards, a harmonized dial (lumed 3-6-9, &ldquo;05&rdquo;) and caliber 3230; it&rsquo;s the most versatile for mixed office/leisure wear, with a comfort boost at the clasp. If you seek a &ldquo;one-and-done&rdquo; modern Air-King, start here.
Magnetism &amp; precision? The 116900 leveraged internal shielding; the 126900 relies on the 3230&rsquo;s paramagnetic architecture and materials&mdash;both engineered to shrug off everyday fields from electronics. Practically, you&rsquo;ll notice the newer watch&rsquo;s longer autonomy more than any difference in protection.
Budget &amp; secondary market: 34 mm references remain attractive for a timeless three-hand Rolex, while recent 40 mm models better satisfy &ldquo;sport-pro&rdquo; demand. Let real use (cuff vs casual) drive the choice rather than price charts alone.&nbsp;Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
The Rolex Air-King is for those who want an aviation-minded, legible, robust Rolex with no date or distractions yet a strong identity; the 126900 modernizes ergonomics (case, clasp, lume) and autonomy, while the 34 mm references retain timeless charm and exemplary portability. Choose by size/use balance, dial aesthetic preference and clasp comfort&mdash;and consult&nbsp;Dialicious customer reviews before you decide.
