First introduced in 1959, the Submariner reference 5512 was produced for 20 years. This new reference launched several notable changes to the Submariner. Firstly, the case size increased to 40 mm and for the very first time, Rolex introduced crown guards. The current watch made in 1961 is fitted with a glossy gilt dial featuring “swiss” at six o’clock, designating Radium as the luminous material.
