Specialist note

Succeeding the Reference 16613, the Submariner ref. 116613 features a completely redesigned feature set that has swapped the aluminium bezel insert for a tougher and sportier Cerachrom (ceramic) insert, as well as a brand-new case and bracelet design. However, the 116613 retains the signature two-tone steel and gold finish of the case.

The lugs and crown guard found on the 116613 are slightly widened, and the bezel has received a new mounting, thus giving the watch a slightly larger and more statuesque appearance. Despite its larger presence, the 116613 compromises in no-way on usability and sportiness. In fact, it is improved upon with an upgraded paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring for better resistance to shocks and temperature variations.

The noticeability and attractiveness of this two-tone Submariner in excellent condition ensure that it is eye-catching for all, whilst its durability and sportiness leaves its owner certain that they can depend upon their watch no matter the circumstance
