That makes the 14010M the last engine-turned Air-King without a chronometer rating. Its dial reads PRECISION, the same word every Air-King had carried since the Cal. 1520 5500s, and the 114210 that replaces it in 2007 is the first of the decorative-bezel references to say SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED.

The 14010M inherited the 14010's dial catalogue intact, and the configurations that surface most often are the ones the engine-turned bezel flatters. | The 14010M inherited the 14010's dial catalogue intact, and the configurations that surface most often are the ones the engine-turned bezel flatters. | ||
