VSF Air-King 126900 (New 40mm Model) – VS3230 Movement [2026 Edition]

Product Overview

The VSF Air-King 126900 is a polarizing watch that has found its cult following. Unlike the old model (116900), this new version features a completely redesigned case with Crown Guards, giving it a professional tool-watch aesthetic.

VS Factory has released the definitive replica of this model. Powered by the VS3230 movement (a true no-date movement with no “ghost” click), this watch offers the perfect blend of durability and quirky dial design.

Why Buy This VSF Replica?

1. The “Ghost-Free” VS3230 Movement

Many cheaper replicas use a modified 3235 movement with the date wheel removed. This results in a “Ghost Date” position (the crown clicks twice, even though there is no date).

• The VSF Solution: This model uses the Custom VS3230 movement. It has only two crown positions (Winding and Time Setting). There is no ghost date click. It feels and operates exactly like the Genuine Caliber 3230.
• Power Reserve: A true 72-hour power reserve, allowing you to leave it off-wrist for the weekend without it stopping.

2. The New Case Architecture

• Crown Guards: This is the biggest visual update. VSF has perfectly sculpted the new slab-sided case with sharp, integrated crown guards.
• Slim Profile: The case is thinner and sits flatter on the wrist than the previous generation. VSF nailed the 11.6mm thickness, making it extremely comfortable for daily wear.

3. Updated Dial Details

• The “05”: The new Air-King adds a “0” before the “5” at the 1 o’clock marker for symmetry (“05” instead of “5”). VSF’s printing is crisp and glossy.
• Lume: The 3-6-9 numerals are now filled with Chromalight (Blue Lume), unlike the old solid white gold numerals. VSF’s lume application is even and bright.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this have a “Ghost Date” position?
A: No. This is the biggest selling point of the VSF version. It uses the VS3230 movement, which is a dedicated no-date movement. When you pull the crown, there is only one setting position, exactly like the Genuine watch.

Q: Is the lume correct?
A: Yes. On the old Air-King, the 3-6-9 markers were solid metal and didn’t glow. On this New 126900, the 3-6-9 are filled with Chromalight. VSF has replicated this update perfectly, so the entire dial glows blue in the dark.

Q: Is the case 904L steel?
A: Yes. VSF uses real 904L Oystersteel. It has the same weight, corrosion resistance, and polish as the original.

Q: How is the clasp?
A: It features the updated Oysterclasp with the safety latch (lock). It also includes the Easylink 5mm comfort extension link, which works smoothly.
