With Rolex International Service Guarantee dated 23 May 2008, Rolex service estimate dated 7 April 2008, as well as a Rolex cover letter and service invoice dated 23 May 2008 and Rolex Submariner literature. Furthermore delivered with original fitted green presentation box and outer packaging, as well as a letter from Rolex UK dated 31 March 2008 stating that company records show the watch with the military markings 05529237697611/76 was one of a quantity supplied to Her Majesty's Dockyard Rosyth in March of 1976.
The Military version of the Submariner ref. 5513 was adapted following the specifications requested by the British Ministry of Defence. The watches had to be fitted with fixed bar lugs with a diameter of at least 2 mm. The dials had to be easily readable and were therefore equipped with the larger "sword" hands. They also had to show the international symbol for Tritium, the encircled "T". The hack feature allowing the precise setting of the time was another specific request. The models furthermore had a unique bezel with sixty minute markers rather than only the first fifteen minutes. The outside of the case backs were marked with the military broad arrow sign, Ministry of Defence issue numbers and unit number. Furthermore the inside of the case backs repeated the serial number which is commonly only found between the lugs.
The outside of the case back of the present watch is engraved with the following markings:
0552 for British Ministry of Defence, 923-7697 for the NATO code, the Broad Arrow characterising all watches owned by the British Army, the issue number 611 and issue year 76.
For another example of a military Ref. 5513 see Rolex Submariner History by Franca & Guido Mondani and Lele Ravagnani, p.70.
