1982 Rolex Submariner (Ref. 5513) Mk. IV Maxi Dial W/ Box & Accessories

The Rolex Submariner Reference 5513 is the embodiment of the classic dive watch. The 5513 is simple yet sophisticated and rugged. The ref. 5513 was first introduced in 1962 and ceased production in late 1989. The ref. 5513 is a purpose-built dive watch that lacks the date function like other Rolex Submariner models. 

1982 Rolex Submariner (Ref. 5513) Mk. IV MAXI 

The dial on this 1982 Rolex Submariner ref. 5513 is commonly referred to as the Maxi Mk. IV dial, which is the second-to-last dial variation Rolex produced for the ref. 5513 with a matte black finish. The Maxi IV Dial is commonly seen in cases stamped in the late 6 million to late 7 million serial range and was introduced around 1981.

The features of the Maxi IV Dial include the following:

  • “Zig-Zag S” in “SUBMARINER”
  • The “SUBMARINER” text is written above and shorter in length than the depth rating below it.
  • The “=” sign in the depth rating is directly below the “A” in “SUBMARINER” and is slightly to the right.
