Rolex Submariner réf. 5513 « Non Serif Dial » de 1977-1978 the latter revealing luminescent markersProduced from 1962 to 1989, the reference 5513 stands as an icon among vintage Submariners. This 1977 1978 example features a matte dial known as the Non Serif variant, on which depth is expressed in feet first (660ft = 200m) hence the Feet First moniker. As expected on this variant, whose hands and hour markers are filled with patinated tritium, no luminescence remains under UV A light. The case is very well preserved, with crisp, original bevels.
