Rolex Vintage Submariner (Meters First) , 5513

We are proud to present this iconic Rolex Submariner Non-date watch for sale in fine condition for its age, fully checked and authenticated in our accredited workshop.

The Rolex Submariner, first introduced in 1953, is a legendary timepiece with a rich history deeply intertwined with the world of diving. Originally designed as a professional diver's watch, and soon becoming the first watch to achieve a water resistance of 30atm (300m/1000ft), the Submariner quickly gained iconic status for its exceptional durability, precision, and distinctive aesthetic. Over the years, it has evolved while maintaining its core attributes, becoming a symbol of both underwater exploration and timeless elegance. With its robust construction and technological innovations, the Rolex Submariner continues to be a sought-after classic, embodying a legacy of horological excellence and adventure.

A must-see for vintage Rolex fans, this Submariner comes set in the classic 40mm solid stainless steel Oyster case with pin-hole lugs. It has the classic black bi-rotational (pre-bezel ratchet) bezel insert with contrasting silver divers scale. The matte black service dial features 'meters' first dial printing, as well as tritium hour markers and hands which have aged nicely and have developed a lovely creamy patina. The dial is protected by a domed acrylic plexi-glass and the watch is fitted with a screw-down crown for a water resistance of 20atm (200m/660ft). It is powered by the automatic calibre 1520 movement and comes fitted on a brown Bulang & Sons leather strap with matching stainless steel pin buckle clasp.

Originally manufactured in 1965 and in fine condition for its age with minor wear to the case and bezel insert, the watch comes supplied with our branded watch roll, authenticity card and 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.
