Introduced around 1959, the references 5512 and 5513 were the first Submariners to incorporate crown guards. Collectors have a special interest in models like the present example, as they feature so called gilt dials, identified by the highly coveted gilt coloured text. The pointed crown guards also contribute to its robust aesthetic, further adding to its appeal.
