Rolex Submariner – Ref. 5513 “Pre-Comex” – Year 1978 – Watch Only

The Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 “Pre-Comex” from 1978 is a historic piece in the world of Rolex and professional diving watches. This model predates the famous Comex editions, sharing their robustness and reliability, which makes it highly collectible.

The 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case ensures durability and timeless style, complemented by the black aluminum unidirectional bezel insert for dive time tracking. Its matte black dial with patinated luminous markers gives the watch a unique vintage character and warm charm that only age can bring.

Protected by a domed Plexiglass crystal, this Submariner retains the authentic spirit of classic dive watches of the era.

Inside beats the automatic Rolex Calibre 1520, a simple yet robust movement, highly appreciated by collectors for its reliability and endurance.

This example is offered as watch only (without original box or papers), but remains an outstanding and rare vintage timepiece.
