The Classic Vintage Submariner 5512 and 5513 Review

The Vintage Submariner 5512 was introduced in 1958 and marked the introduction of crown guards to Rolex’s Submariner line. A few short years after the release on the reference 5512, Rolex introduced the reference 5513 in 1962 and proceeded to simultaneously manufacture both watches for a number of years thereafter, until they were discontinued in 1978 and 1989 respectively. More replica Rolex Submariner watches.

The two Rolex Submariner references appear identical; and even after a closer examination, a trained set of eyes would be hard pressed to identify any major differences.  In all actuality, the only areas in which these two Submariner references differ are the calibre of movement inside, and the accompanying lines of text printed on their dials that denote the difference in movement.

The reference 5512 Submariner contained a chronometer-rated movement, certified by COSC, while the reference 5513 did not. Due to this subtle difference, the reference 5512 Submariner received two additional lines of text on its dial that read, “Superlative Chronometer / Officially Certified” to indicate that the movement has undergone and passed the rigorous standards of COSC testing.
