New Air King Blue Dial? US Open

Jon Rahm's dad wearing new yet to be announced model? Looks like a matte blue dial Air King. Perhaps it's the existing black dial. But sure looks blue to me and I don't see the yellow crown. Perhaps it's there though and the black dial is looking blue. Perhaps blue reflection from his wife's vest. Any thoughts?

I think it’s the current version, but absent the AR coating, it might look blue in some light. If that were true, about it being a new version, I doubt it would have kept the yellow crown and green hand. Clashes too much with blue and it seems Rolex has been moving away from introducing new green accents.

Look at original tweet shared within the link. Definitely an AK.

It is the current AK model... just the lighting effect that turns it "blue"

I think you're right and it's the current black dial. Amazing how evenly blue it looks in this lighting though.
