The Rolex Bluesy Submariner

Reference Numbers:


Collectors commonly refer to the two‑tone blue Submariner as the “Bluesy.” Key references include the vintage 16613 (blue), the 116613LB (40mm, ceramic era), and the current 126613LB (41mm).

Production Years:


The 116613LB debuted in 2009 and was discontinued in 2020, replaced by the 126613LB introduced in 2020. Earlier blue two‑tone models (e.g., 16613) span the late 1980s–2000s.

Defining Features of the Rolex Bluesy Submariner:


The Bluesy pairs Oystersteel with 18 ct yellow gold (Rolesor). It features a unidirectional rotatable bezel with a blue Cerachrom ceramic insert, engraved numerals coated in gold, and a yellow‑gold screw‑down Triplock crown. Depending on reference, the case measures 40mm (116613LB) or 41mm (126613LB). The sunburst royal‑blue dial delivers high legibility with Chromalight luminescence, and the date is magnified by a Cyclops lens.

Built as a professional diver’s watch, the Bluesy Submariner is water‑resistant to 300 metres and ideal for swimming, snorkelling and recreational scuba diving.
