Design and Materials
The Rolex Submariner 16613 with the Serti dial is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, combining the resilience of stainless steel with the opulence of 18k yellow gold. The 40 mm case is robust and engineered to endure the rigors of deep-sea diving while maintaining a sophisticated appearance. The two-tone design offers a versatile aesthetic that is suitable for both formal and casual occasions.
Blue Bezel and Crystal
The blue insert on the unidirectional rotating bezel is a signature feature of the Submariner 16613. This bezel is designed to assist divers in tracking their underwater time with precision, ensuring safety during dives. The unidirectional mechanism is a critical feature, as it prevents accidental extension of the dive time. The bezel’s deep blue color complements the overall design, adding a vibrant contrast to the watch. Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which includes the Cyclops magnifier over the date window for enhanced readability.
Slate Serti Dial
The standout feature of the Submariner 16613 is its Slate Serti dial, adorned with diamond and sapphire hour markers. The term “Serti” comes from the French word “sertissage,” referring to the setting of precious stones. This luxurious dial transforms the Submariner from a professional dive watch into a piece of fine jewelry. The diamonds and sapphires are meticulously set, offering a dazzling visual appeal that captures light beautifully. The dial also features luminous inlay hands, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions, whether deep underwater or in dimly lit environments.
Movement and Precision
Beneath its exquisite exterior, the Submariner 16613 is powered by an officially certified chronometer self-winding movement. This ensures that the watch delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. Rolex’s stringent standards for chronometer certification mean that each movement is tested and certified to meet the highest levels of precision. The self-winding mechanism is powered by the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist, eliminating the need for manual winding and ensuring the watch remains accurate and ready for action.
Bracelet and Clasp
The Oyster bracelet of the Submariner 16613 is a perfect match for its luxurious case. Crafted from a combination of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, the bracelet continues the two-tone theme and adds to the watch’s overall elegance. Designed to fit wrists up to 7.75 inches, the bracelet is secured with a flip-lock clasp, providing both security and ease of use. This design ensures that the watch remains comfortably and securely in place during all activities, from diving to formal events.
