Unlike their earlier predecessors, the new references featured crown guards, which gave this tool watches a more robust look, as well as protected the crown during diving of any unnecessary mishaps. The 5513 has a bezel with minute divisions for the first fifteen minutes and silver triangle, the dial can alternatively be glossy or matte with white signature. The depth is rated to 660 ft, and, as of 1964, the designation “Swiss T<25” was added to the bottom of the dial. The present watch impresses by its original and well-preserved condition of the stainless steel case. The bezel has completely preserved its initial dark black color, and highlights a very low use of the watch, but the most fascinating part of this lot is for sure its dial. The tone of the luminous numerals and hands harmonize perfectly with black dial. Out of production in 1989, this lot is one of the best examples of reference 5513 you could find in all marketplace.
