Rolex is one of the leading watch brands who watches represent the ultimate prestige and success. The brand catalogue consists of the most iconic and coveted models in the catalogue like the Datejust, Submariner and Daytona. Although Rolex watches are expensive, they are incredibly sought-after by people across the world.
However, some Rolexes belong to the affordable Rolex family and are easier to get. Some vintage and second hand Rolex watches are often overlooked, but they can offer substantial value and in fact, appear slightly different from the familiar Rolex look.
So let’s here explore some of these Rolexes that sport the brand’s signature specifications like the Oyster case, Mercedes hands and automatic winding. They also typically come with an affordable price tag so you can easily choose to buy a Rolex watch mentioned below in the list.
The Rolex Explorer is a more uncontroversial and globally palatable option. Well, do not confuse with the Explorer II that features a GMT hand and 24-hour marked bezel. The old Rolex Explorer is a more classic, well-balanced and handsome sports watch.
The watch flaunts an instantly recognisable three-hand time-telling design. The Explorer is historically significant because of its association with adventurers. For example, a “pre-Explorer” accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953 to the summit of Mt. Everest. The timepiece sports a 39mm case diameter and powered by an automatic movement.
Rolex introduced the Oyster Perpetual as an entry-level watch for men. The watch features a classic Rolex design, representing the brand’s legacy in the purest form. The Oyster Perpetual is available in different sizes, and Rolex upgraded the collection this year by adding a new 41mm model and an array of vibrant colours.
However, the 36mm Oyster Perpetual version can be a classic watch of choice for many wrists. Not only this watch goes with modern trends, but it is also pretty more affordable. Although it bears a formal appearance, the timepiece is water-resistant to a depth of 100m.
If you think about aviation-themed timepieces, the first one to strike your mind is likely the Rolex GMT-Master II and then, the Sky-Dweller. However, the Rolex Air-King is another aviation-themed watch that also worth your attention.
The Air-King flaunts a black dial with big Arabic numeral hour markers that make the design instantly recognisable. However, the contemporary models come with a younger and virtually polarising design. Another significant fact is that the Air-King does not currently house the latest-generation automatic movement.
While the watch is less popular than others in the Rolex’s catalogue, it can speak a lot about the individual who chooses to buy a Rolex Air-King.
