The Rolex Submariner Date, model number 16613, is a classic example of Rolex's tradition of creating robust and luxurious diving watches. This particular model, often from the 1990s and early 2000s, combines functionality with fine materials and is popular with collectors and divers alike.
Design and aesthetics:
-
Dial: The dial is available in a range of colours, including blue and black, both of which enhance the aesthetics of the watch and ensure clear legibility. The hour markers and hands are coated with luminous material that ensures excellent visibility in all lighting conditions, including underwater. The signature date is located at the 3 o'clock position and features a Cyclops magnifying glass mounted above the sapphire crystal.
-
Case: The 40 mm case of the 16613 is made from a combination of stainless steel and 18-carat yellow gold. This material duo, known as Rolesor, offers both the robustness of stainless steel and the luxurious shine of yellow gold. The bezel, also in yellow gold, is unidirectional and features a Cerachrom insert that offers scratch resistance and UV resistance.
Technical features:
-
Movement: At the heart of the Submariner Date 16613 is the Rolex Caliber 3135, an automatic mechanical movement known for its precision and durability. It is classified as a certified Swiss chronometer, which means it has passed rigorous tests that guarantee its accuracy.
-
Water resistance: The watch is water resistant to a depth of 300 meters (1000 feet), making it ideal for professional divers and water sports enthusiasts. This high level of water resistance is made possible by a robust Oyster case and a screw-down crown system.
Bracelet:
- The bracelet is also made of stainless steel and yellow gold and has the typical Rolex Oyster design. It is equipped with an Oysterlock safety clasp that prevents accidental opening. The Glidelock system allows quick and fine adjustment of the bracelet length in order to wear the watch over a diving suit.
The Rolex Submariner Date 16613 is an excellent choice for watch lovers who seek a combination of classic design, diving functionality and a touch of luxury. Its proven durability and timeless aesthetic make it a valuable addition to any watch collection.
