ROLEX SUBMARINER 5513 VINTAGE NO-DATE DIVE WATCH, STAINLESS STEEL, GLOSS BLACK DIAL, CIRCA 1985

This vintage Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 dates to around 1985 and is one of the most celebrated dive watches ever made. The 5513 had one of the longest production runs in Rolex history. Its clean no-date dial has a symmetry that many collectors consider the purest form of the Submariner.

This example is from the later era of the reference and has the glossy black dial with luminous hour markers set in metal surrounds, along with the classic Mercedes hour hand. The 40mm stainless steel Oyster case has a rotating black dive bezel, a screw-down Triplock crown with crown guards, and a solid screw-down caseback. It is water resistant to 200 meters. A domed acrylic crystal gives the watch its warm vintage look.

The watch is powered by a Rolex self-winding mechanical movement and is paired with a stainless steel Oyster bracelet with a folding clasp. Robust enough for diving and versatile enough for everyday wear, it is a desirable piece of Rolex history.
