The Rolex Submariner 5513 is known for its enduring design and quality. Introduced in 1962 and produced until 1989, it possesses many of the hallmarks of the Submariner (such as the 40mm case and crown guards), while having a distinct vintage look that sets it apart from today’s models.
The matte dial 5513 Submariner was produced from 1966 to approximately 1984 and the no-date, two-line dial makes it instantly recognizable. Over the years the depth rating changed (meters-first became feet-first), various fonts and the alignment of the text shifted, and the size of the lume plots varied, all under the banner of the ref. 5513.
Our sub is a "feet first" and has a beautiful American rivet bracelet, a fabulous tritium patina and a "chubby" and well-maintained case. This "Pallettoni" is one of the most hunted type sub for Rolex's collectors.
