	The 5513 is the long-run no-date Submariner, the cheaper non-chronometer partner to the 5512, produced from about 1962 to 1989/1990 across twenty-seven continuous years. Early watches are gloss gilt, most of the run is matte, and the final years return to gloss with white-gold surrounds.

	Mixed-parts watches are common. Documented spider-dial and bracelet-focused 5513 examples show replacement dials, inserts, crowns, later bracelets, and much later clasp stamps sitting together on one otherwise honest watch. Spider dial refers to a glossy dial with lacquer crazing; the effect turns up across a broad late-vintage band rather than a single year.		Mixed-parts watches are common.

			The 5513 sits inside the [[Reference:submariner-5xxx-family\|5xxx Submariner family]] alongside the chronometer 5512 and the institutional 5514 and 5517. Two military and commercial branches use the 5513 case as their host: the [[Reference:comex\|COMEX]] program (Compagnie Maritime d'Expertises) issued 5513s to French saturation divers from the early 1970s, and the British military [[Reference:milsub\|MilSub]] configuration ran on 5513 cases for the first two batches before the dedicated 5517 took over in the third.
