Airkings are pretty small watches. Especially ones from the 80s.
Having said that, buy your bro an airking 5700. They look the bollocks and are also increasing in value as Rolex stopped making Air Kings with date windows a while back...a good one is a collectors item.
I've got a 1988, I reckon you'll be able to find a 1987.

You would use a watch to sabre?

Watch finder has a Year filter on their website. See what's about from 87 and if you like any.
Then run back here and seek further approval. -
Ideally one from 1987 so it is as old as he is.
I think it has been discussed before, but proper birthdate watches are a bit of a lost search as it's often hard to pinpoint manufacture. With that in mind I'd include a year or two either side in your search and not get two hung up on the exact year.

Hi all,
I am here for a bit of advice as I would like to buy a watch for my brother's 30th birthday.
I don't know anything about watches apart from I remember being told that expensive watches weren't good at keeping time...
Ideally one from 1987 so it is as old as he is.
It would also be nice to have a heavy-ish watch so it can used to saber Champagne.
Budget is up to £2k if there is something nice, or less as chances are that he won't be wearing it much.
Are the Rolex Airking any good?

Otherwise there are loads of 1987 Seiko Divers watches that would suit:
