Air King 34mm with Green Face

I was recently offered to purchase an older Air King with a green watch face. It was beautiful but does anyone know if this face was a factory issue about 20 years ago? Could it be a factory after market or otherwise ? Many thanks!

I have never seen a 34 Air King with a green dial.
Doesn’t mean they didn’t make one, just that I’ve seen many, white, salmon, etc, but never green.

It's possible that the green face could be a factory option from around 20 years ago, but it's always good to do some research or consult with a watch expert to confirm its authenticity. It could also be a custom modification done after purchase.

I have never heard about a factory-issued green watch face for the Air King 34mm model from about 20 years ago. It's possible that it was a limited edition, a factory after-market customization, or even a discolored silver dial that appeared green over time.

Look at a 34mm previous generation OP green dial, that’s a top watch.

There is a green dial Air King model T (mid 1990’s) listen on Chrono24 right now - I believe it’s from a dealer in Portugal - I would suggest contacting that dealer with questions….

I've never seen a 34mm air-king with green dial. I own a white dial 114200 air-king so I've gone deep into the references and have never come across one.
