About as classic as a vintage submariner can get! The reference 5513 was produced from 1961 up until 1989, during this time there were many dial details that changed subtly over that period. 

This example we have here, is in lovely original condition, with honest case and wear from use. Dating to 1972 approximately (3 million serial) it features a serif dial type and has an awesome deep pumpkin lume. The luminous in the hands has also aged nicely with some light wear to the hands.

The matte finish is free from any marks and in excellent condition.

The patented 93150 bracelet is in excellent shape and with very little stretch. And has 580 endlinks.

The case has a clear serial and reference between the lugs.

This is a fantastic example of a well loved 5513 Sub.
