Ref.5500 Air King Cream
While there are many dial designs for the Air-King, this one, with its gold alpha hands and wedge-shaped indices, hails from the Air-King's most stylish era.
The glossy white dial, also known as a white mirror dial, has aged and transformed into a creamy color.
What's interesting about this particular piece is that it was made in 1968, yet it features alpha hands and wedge-shaped indices.
Typically, alpha or leaf hands were only used until around 1965-1966. However, considering that the mirror dial Air-King we have in stock from 1968 also has the same design, we speculate that the combination of alpha hands and wedge-shaped indices continued until this period, but only for the non-date models 5500, 6426, and 6427.
Please come and see it in person.
