Reference 5513
One of the most recognizable wristwatches ever made, the Rolex Submariner reference 5513 is also one of the brand's oldest models, having been manufactured from 1962 to 1989. The reference's dial, bezel, and case design underwent multiple changes over almost thirty years, all while maintaining the Submariner's distinctive look and feel. The watch, which stands out for its simple, no-date design, reflects the model's original intent: to serve as a tool watch that would help divers by providing the best possible legibility and reliability while underwater.
