A Classic Tool Watch
Many collectors love the Rolex Submariner 5513 because of its classic design. It sits on the wrist easily and the dial is uncluttered and simple. Since the Rolex 5513 was produced for nearly 30 years, there are multiple dial variations that are possible, depending on the year of production. For example, some dials have ink traps on the hour and five-minute markers, but not all.The Rolex Submariner 5513 was launched in 1962 and is depth-rated to 200 meters or 660 feet. It has an 8 mm crown and gilt printing on the dial. The 1963 version featured a non-chronometer movement and a Swiss T<25 printed on the dial.
The next update was 1976, when the word “Submariner” was printed above the depth rating. The dial was updated again in 1984 with gold markings around the minute and hour markers, but the 1988 version featured an even bigger change, with Sapphire glass. This is the last official Submariner version of the watch before it was replaced by the introduction of the 14060 model.
