Median price per month or quarter. A point needs at least 3 records in its month or quarter; a gap in a line means too few records, and nothing is filled in. Forum prices are the price a seller listed on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums or WatchUSeek when the post was marked sold, not a confirmed sale price.

The Air-King 116900 at a glance

The 116900 is a Air-King with a 40 mm case in stainless steel. The reference is discontinued.

From the catalog record:

  • Case: 40 mm, stainless steel.
  • Bezel: polished stainless steel.
  • Dial: black with applied luminous Arabic numerals.
  • Movement: calibre 3131.

It is one of 16 references in our Air-King catalog. To compare prices, the nearest Air-King references by case size are Air-King 5500 (stainless steel), Air-King 14010M (stainless steel) and Air-King 114234 (stainless steel).

Sold results for the 116900, summarised:

  • Current range: $5,700–$9,500.
  • Midpoint: $7,600.
  • Newest sale used: October 20, 2026.
  • Market observations used: 385.

What affects the price

Condition. Here is how condition splits the sales we have (a grade with too few sales shows no range):

  • Unworn examples: $6,250–$8,450.
  • Excellent condition: $6,050–$8,200.
  • Good condition: $6,200–$8,400.
  • Fair condition: not enough market data yet.

Case condition. A steel case wears in daily use; buyers look at the lugs and case sides for dents and for signs of heavy polishing.

Dial. Our record gives the dial as black with applied luminous Arabic numerals; a replaced or refinished dial is a common reason for lower offers.

Bezel. The bezel is recorded as polished stainless steel; dings on the bezel are easy to see in photos and buyers notice them.

Movement. It runs on the calibre 3131. A recent service with paperwork helps a sale; an overdue one is often priced into offers.

Completeness. Box, papers, spare links and tags all help; missing papers are the gap buyers notice most.

Retail. A list price appears here only when we can source it; for the 116900 we can't yet.

Twelve-month change. Change over the past year: +10.6% over 12 months.

Tips for buyers

  • Confirm the reference number 116900 and the 40 mm case against the papers.
  • Look at the bezel (polished stainless steel) for damage or replacement parts.
  • Check the bracelet for stretch and the clasp for wear.
  • Ask whether the dial (black with applied luminous Arabic numerals) is original to the watch.
  • Ask for the movement to be checked: it should be the calibre 3131.
  • Have an independent watchmaker inspect it within the return window.

Tips for sellers

  • Don't polish the case before selling.
  • Collect the box, papers and any service records before you ask for offers.
  • Take clear daylight photos of the dial, case, bezel and bracelet.
  • Use the published price data on this page as a starting point, and get more than one offer.
