I like the MIDDLE one
 I hate the LEFT one!  Looks like a playing record!  I am biased about the right one But I really LOVE this one:

i really like the new air king, and i think it is great value. it is basically the explorer, but with a better bracelet and clasp and it has the new domed bezel --and it is less expensive! the fit and finish are fantastic (as expected) and it feels far more substantial in your hand than the explorer (i did a side by side comparison at my local AD). however, it is a tad small. if you have a large wrist it might get lost.

I have a hard time wearing anything under 36mm. I had a Breitling Callisto that I wore for about 2.5 years but the 34mm size finally got to me and I stopped wearing it/subsequently sold it after getting a DJ. My wrist is just under 6.5" but the 34mm looks too small to me. |

Air king to me is humble elegance. I love them! Wish sometimes I had not sold mine! I had a blue dial. Gorgeous!

There's not a lot of published information on the Air-King, which surprises me for a model with such a cool name.
