Production Years:
The Rolex Submariner Date 116613LB came out in 2009 as part of Rolex's six digit Submariner line and stayed in production until 2020.
Its release was more than a simple change in look. Rolex took the known Submariner base and added new modern materials such as the Cerachrom bezel, the Super Case and a better bracelet while keeping the features that made the Submariner one of the most famous dive watches around.
Throughout its time being made the 116613LB became one of the unique two tone sports models, in the range having a clear different feel compared to the stainless steel Submariner models.
Defining Features
Colour is what sets the 116613LB apart right away. The pairing of the blue sunburst dial with the blue Cerachrom bezel and yellow Rolesor make this watch distinct compared to any other Submariner of that era. In various lighting conditions, the dial changes from deep blue to a more metallic shade of blue, without compromising legibility.
The 116613LB Rolex features the 904L Oystersteel combined with 18ct yellow gold in all parts of the case and the Oyster bracelet. Instead of simply applying gold for decoration purposes, the Rolex has created contrasts between the different finishes by using the polished centre links, bezel, and crown contrasting the brushed steel finishes.
The Rolex Calibre 3135, which served the Submariner Date watch in past years and gained a good reputation for reliability, lies under the dial of the watch. With a Parachrom hairspring, date change at once and 48 hours power reserve, it is still one of the best calibers in the Rolex watches.
Even though the watch’s design is what draws many people's attention at the beginning, the 116613LB Submariner has all of the qualities typical of the professional Submariner. The unidirectional Cerachrom bezel was designed specifically for diving time measurement, and the waterproofness up to 300 metres (1,000 feet) is achieved due to the Tri lock screw down crown, Oyster case and sapphire crystal.
The Oyster bracelet is equipped with Rolex's Glidelock extension system, allowing the bracelet to be adjusted without tools. Originally developed for divers wearing wetsuits, the system also makes everyday adjustment simple as wrist size changes throughout the day.
About Rolex Submariner Model Number 116613LB
Among the many nicknames given to Rolex watches, there are only a few that can be considered as well known as Bluesy. Contrary to most unofficial names, which tend to be assigned many years after the watch becomes obsolete, this nickname was applied specifically to the 116613LB as it cannot be said about any other Submariner combining the yellow and blue gold.
It becomes especially interesting in terms of how well it reconciles the contrasting personalities, namely, the mechanical performance of the 116613LB does not depart from the characteristics of the professional diver's watch, having the same engineering elements as its stainless steel sibling. However, the use of yellow gold alters its personality and makes it equally applicable as part of business outfit or vacation attire.
Among the various options for acquiring a two tone Rolex sports watch, the Rolex Submariner 116613LB deserves special attention being part of the Submariner collection.
