The 116613 is the ceramic-bezel Rolesor Submariner Date. It replaced the aluminum-insert 16613 around 2009 and ran until the 41mm 126613 with caliber 3235 took over in 2020. Within the ceramic-era Submariner generation, it occupies the middle position: more accessible than the full gold 116618, more distinctive than the steel 116610LN, carrying the visual language of the Rolesor bracelet — polished yellow gold center links against brushed steel outer links — into the Cerachrom age. | The 116613 is the ceramic-bezel Rolesor Submariner Date.

Cerachrom replaced aluminum, Glidelock replaced Fliplock, and Maxi-format markers with Chromalight lume made the dial larger and brighter. Wider Super Case lugs changed the proportions. The two-tone identity carries forward, but the watch is a different object. | ||
The blue dial variant, 116613LB, is universally called the “Bluesy” — a nickname inherited from the 16613LB. Sunburst blue dial, blue Cerachrom bezel, and polished gold center links create a visual coherence that makes this the defining two-tone Submariner configuration and the reason most buyers come to the reference. | The blue dial variant, 116613LB, is universally called the “Bluesy” — a nickname inherited from the 16613LB.
