Many companies had their logo placed on Air-Kings and some Dates as well. Even Dominos Pizza did, as did Pan Am.
Here are some cool dials: http://www.rolexforums.com/showpost....9&postcount=35

Its actually not a PAM AM dial...
http://watchesandart.blogspot.com/20...ng-is-oil.html I remember telling a salesperson, who refereed to an Air King with the said dial, that it wasn't a Pam Am logo and watched the salesperson's face drop. It's still an interesting piece though!

There are no Air King Pan Am official dials. It is the former oil co as mentioned above

I have seen pictures of the white faced GMT Master created by Rolex for Pan AM. AS most of you probably have read, the Pan Am executives at corporate headquarters were "purloining" the regular GMT's provided to the pilots and navigators. So Juan Trippe had Rolex make a white dialed version for the "suits." That is the only true Pan Am Rolex that I have heard of anf it did not have a logo. I think it was a 6542, but not sure. Incidently, the in TV series "Pan Am' all of the pilots wear GMTs. I watched the first episode and was completely underwhelmed by every thing but the watches.
