The vintage Rolex Submariner 5513 is one of the most popular models in the Submariner collection. The first Submariner watch was produced in 1953 but since then has undergone some major changes in both design and function. The 5513 was the non chronometer version of an updated Submariner which was produced in the 1960s and included several changes to the design of the watch. For example, shoulders were added to the case in order to provide extra protection for the movement.
