The Rolex Submariner is one of those truly 'icon' models that remains the paragon of diving watches and a special timepiece worth owning.

Ref.5513 is one of the models coveted by many collectors, released in 1962. Back then the Submariner was a pure tool watch, not as closely associated with a luxury lifestyle as it is today. The design of Ref.5513 is simple and practical, the case diameter is 39 mm, and the protective device can protect the crown from impact. Most Ref. 5513 watches have conventional hour markers on the dial, but this particular model uses the classic configuration of the explorer, with Arabic numerals as 3, 6 and 9 o’clock markers.
The small dot below the 6 o'clock position makes this watch even more unique. In the 1960s, regulations around the use of radium were tightened, and small dots indicated that the watch was less radioactive. This type of dial has been nicknamed the "exclamation point" dial, which is very apt. The name "Meters First" is based on the waterproof performance of the "Meters" (meter) unit marked on the front and the "Feet" (feet) unit marked on the back.replica watches

The watch even comes with an original Oyster bracelet, further adding to its appeal. These watches are currently highly collectible and have completely transitioned from a tool watch to an undeniable luxury.
