It may not be well known, but the Oyster Speedking set the tone for wearable sport watches as distinct from the established dive watches of the day, “The Speedking features only what it needs, and nothing it doesn’t. Because of that, there’s not much flash here, but a whole lot of substance.” Speedking and yes for todays standards they are extremely small at 30mm excluding the crown, but the history of this line is definitely interesting with links to the race car driver Sir Malcom Campbell to the choice of Officers being held captive during WW2 in prisoner of war camps ( Rolex Magazine has a great article explaining that one) Right up to the fact Steve McQueen wore one in the Great Escape in 1963…. that in itself is usually enough to send people wild – Vintage Rolex doesn’t get much better than this Speedking.

Model Reference Number: 5056 Date of issue: 1949 Rolex offered the SpeedKing Precision watches from the 1940’s to the late 1960’s with several different variations, dials and movements. The Rolex SpeedKing Precision is one of the few Rolex watches equipped with a hand-wound mechanical movement. Rolex watches not only became the watches worn by the most influential people, they were also put to the test in the most extreme situations. Sir Malcolm Campbell wore one while breaking land speed records in Bluebell in 1935, as did the first pilot to break the sound barrier in 1947. Sir Edmund Hillary wore an Oyster on the first ever summit of Everest in 1953, and this extraordinary feat began a series of Professional models, the first of which was the Oyster Explorer, based on the model Hillary wore. The present watch a SpeedKing Precision ref. 5056 circa 1949 channels the importance of Rolex’s effect on history in wonderful style and elegance. (143)
