Rolex 116613 Two-Tone Submariner Review - Ultimate Buying Guide

Описание: The reference 16613 was released as a continuation of the two-tone Submariner line that began in 1984, yet it took another 21 years for the launch of the redefined and reimagined steel and gold Rolex Submariner 116613 model, complete with a slightly upgraded in-house movement, a significantly chunkier-looking aesthetic, and new dial design.

In this video, we’ll cover all the features and characteristics of the highly-sought after two-tone Rolex Submariner 116613 model. The collector's timepiece mirrors the same classic stainless steel and 18k yellow gold case design of its predecessor, and continues the legacy of the iconic Rolex Submariner collection – a family of diver’s watches that made history with their innovative 100-meter water-resistant cases.

The Rolex Submariner was one of the world’s first-ever scuba diving timepieces, and helped to pioneer the entire dive watch genre. Rolex diving watches have been synonymous with quality, performance, and timeless aesthetics, and are constructed from a fine blend of luxurious materials and cutting-edge technology. With innovative features like the Oysterlock safety clasp with Glidelock extension system, comfort and functionality remains at the forefront of the design, as does legibility and a clear dial format for quick and easy referencing of the time while underwater. No longer just associated with deep-sea exploration, the Rolex Submariner has become one of the most popular luxury diver’s watches on the market.

The Rolex Submariner 116613 follows the same design cues as the previous two-tone 16613 model. The redesigned “Super Case” Submariner reference consists of a 40mm case in 904L stainless steel, fitted with a rotating timing bezel made from Cerchrom (Rolex’s patented high-tech ceramic material) as opposed to aluminium like its predecessor. The new Super Case design gives the new generation of Submariner watches a broader, beefier look thanks to chunkier lugs and crown guards, despite retaining the same 40mm diameter.

The 300-meter water-resistant case surrounds a “Maxi” dial that mirrors the case’s bold looks with larger and thicker hands and indexes, along with Chromalight blue lume that differs from the luminescent details of the 16613 models. The two-tone steel and gold Rolex Submariner 116613 offers further design options and can be found with blue or black dial and bezels, gem-set bezels, or even “Serti” dials with diamond hour markers.

Powered by the in-house developed Rolex Caliber 3135 self-winding movement, the Submariner 116613 benefits from an impressive 48-hour power reserve and an operating frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. However, as an update from previous generations of the Cal. 3135, the movement in the ref. 116613 has been equipped with a paramagnetic Blue Parachrom hairspring that the previous reference did not have.

To match the steel and gold construction of the Rolex Submariner 116613, its Oyster bracelet also has a two-tone design, crafted from stainless steel with solid 18k gold center links and a machined Oysterlock safety clasp with Glidelock extension system which enables you to expand the band to about 20mm in 2mm increments for a secure and comfortable fit around the wrist.

Overall, the ref. 116613 Rolex Submariner two-tone watch is a bold, beefy-looking diver’s timekeeping tool thanks to its tough 40mm stainless steel “Super Case” equipped with a Cerachrom bezel that features a new and improved bezel mounting design. A choice in different colors and finishes on the dial have all been cleverly designed to keep in line with the chunky hands and indexes of the new Rolex “Maxi” dial. The 300-meter water-resistant case completed with steel and gold Oyster bracelet is a design that will combine comfort and functionality in equal measure – integral values of any luxury diver watch.
