Submariner 5513 - Serif Matte Dial - Watch Only - ca. 1978

Rolex Submariner 5513 - Serif Matte Dial - Watch Only (ca. 1978)

A late-1970s Submariner reference 5513 with an all matching "SERIF" matte dial, its tritium hour markers and hands aged together to a warm cream tone. Original dial not repainted, with matching hands and bezel, all period correct - a coherent, honest example of the no-date Submariner as it left the late matte-dial era.

Produced from 1962 to 1989 with the robust non-chronometer Caliber 1520, the reference 5513 remains the definitive vintage tool-watch Submariner, and the Serif matte dial is one of its most collected late-1970s configurations.
