By 1957, the MoD approached Rolex with a clear set of specifications. Rolex responded by adapting its Submariner with fixed spring bars, a larger bezel for operation with gloves, and dials using tritium lume (marked by the encircled “T”) instead of the more hazardous radium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1020\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1455\"\u003eFor a brief period, the MoD turned to Omega, commissioning military versions of the Seamaster 300. However, in the early 1970s, they returned to Rolex—likely due to the superior water resistance offered by Rolex’s screw-down crown system. One requirement carried over from the Omega designs was the use of “sword hands,” providing greater lume surface and improved underwater legibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1455\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1844\"\u003eThe Submariner reference 5513 was subsequently modified to meet these specifications. Changes included fixed bars, a fully graduated 60-minute bezel insert, a matte dial, and the distinctive sword hands. Over the course of the 1970s, these watches underwent subtle evolutions.

1959. Designed as a pure tool watch, the 5513 went on to enjoy an exceptionally long production run of nearly three decades. Throughout this period, it evolved through a wide range of dial and hand variations — a detail that continues to make it especially appealing to collectors today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\"\u003eOne of the defining characteristics of the 5513 is its clean, balanced dial layout. Unlike the 5512, which typically features four lines of text at 6 o’clock, the 5513 is most often seen with just two: “Submariner” and the depth rating. This simpler configuration creates a more open, symmetrical aesthetic that perfectly reflects the watch’s utilitarian design philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\"\u003ePresented here is a particularly attractive early example, a so-called “Meters First” version. This designation refers to the depth rating reading in meters before feet (200m = 660ft). These dials represent the first matte executions of the 5513, produced during the transition away from the earlier glossy “gilt” dials around 1966–1967. The “Meters First” configuration was only produced for a short window, approximately 1967–1969, before Rolex switched to “Feet First” dials to better align with the American market — making these early variants notably more sought after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\"\u003eThe case on this example remains in great condition, retaining strong proportions and presence, and is fitted with a lovely fat-font insert that shows very little fading.
