55. Rolex. A stainless steel automatic bracelet watch Model: Submariner Meters First Reference: 5513 Date: Circa 1966 Movement: 26-jewel Cal.1570 automatic, adjusted to 5 positions and temperature Dial: Black gilt lacquered 'spider', luminous dot hour markers with baton quarters, white outer minute divisions, polished Mercedes hands with luminous inserts, centre seconds Case: Brushed and polished tonneau form, screw down back and shouldered crown, bi-directional rotating bezel with blue faded calibrated insert, No.1391931 Strap/Bracelet: Brushed 7206 Oyster riveted link Buckle/Clasp: Signed folding clasp coded 2 69 Signed: Case, dial & movement Size: 39mm Rolex introduced to the market reference 5513 in 1962, and produced the reference until the mid-1980's. The model is recognizable by its lack of date feature, allowing the dial to have a well-balanced design. Early examples of the 5513 featured a glossy black dial with gilt text, and in the mid-1960's, Rolex started producing the reference with a matte dial and white printing. These dials featured the depth rating with meters indicated first "200m=660ft", and towards the end of the 1960's, Rolex began producing dials with the depth rating that indicated feet first. The matte dial reference 5513 appeals to vintage Rolex enthusiasts for its dial symmetry, durability, and place in Rolex history as inspiration for future Submariner models.
