Specialist note

The present Air-King is preserved in very good overall condition and distinguished by the rare ADWOC (Arab Drilling and Workover Company) emblem on its dial.

Concluding from the year of production of the watch it can be assumed that it was issued on the company's founding in 1980. Since then ADWOC has been providing quality drilling, workover and other associated services to the oil and gas sectors throughout the Arab world.
