Buy a Rolex Submariner 16613 – the watch for decision-makers
Like a dip into ice-cold water, this luxury watch is for people who dare something – because the
Submariner 16613 is striking! Although Rolex had the name Roselor Design protected as early as 1933, the watchmaker introduced the 16803 model for the first time in 1983. It took a creative approach to the hitherto unusual
mixture of steel, gold and blue. Four years later, when the
Rolex 16613 was launched as the successor, the venture had already fully proved to be successful. Equipped with the new
3135 calibre, a triumphal march began that lasted for twenty years.
Undoubtedly, the
Rolex Submariner 16613 can be described as one of the
stylistic icons of Rolex. With the
116613LB and
116613LN version came a new successor on to the market in 2004. With some improvements on the clasp, the famous cerachrom bezel and a larger dial. Many fans of the series were surprised by the changed color scheme and the "snobbish" appearance of the newcomer. Not surprisingly, the demand for
certified pre-owned Rolex 16613 models has increased enormously.

Look and technology of the Submariner 16613
The best-fitting word to the
appearance of the Submariner 16613 would be royal. Its blue, hand-crafted sunburst dial boasts a clear, symmetrical appearance with
luminescent baton indices that protect an
18-karat gold coating from tarnishing. At 3 o'clock is a classic date window, which is highlighted by a magnifying glass. The bezel, in the same colour as the dial, can be turned to one side, which provides the ability to accurately measure the time used for decompression dives. The protective sapphire glass has an iridescent effect which is highly appreciated by connoisseurs and collectors of the brand. The
Oyster bracelet, made of stainless steel and yellow gold, ensures a comfortable fit and a safe adaptation to the individual needs of its wearer. The case is
waterproof up to 300 m and withstands a water pressure of up to 30 bar. The movement is a
calibre 3135, which accounts for much of the brand's reputation for accuracy and robustness. The used
Parachrom hairspring makes the watch insensitive to vibrations and temperature fluctuations. Particularly noteworthy is the Rolex rotor, which has bearings made of synthetic rubies. This reduces the wear and tear to a minimum. These features are also rewarded by the independent Swiss testing institute COSC with its certification.
