Prior to the ref. 5512, Submariner watches did not have the protective shoulders around the winding crown, which meant it could break off if the watch was knocked around. So in a bid to build a more robust watch, Rolex added steel crown guards around the screw-down winding crown.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that depending on the manufacturing period, the Submariner ref. 5512 is available with three distinct styles of crown guards. The earliest models produced in 1959 came equipped with square crown guards. However, these proved to be difficult for divers to navigate around with gloves on, so Rolex replaced them with pointed crown guards approximately a year later. These crown guards then evolved to the familiar rounder form in the mid-1960s. As expected, the square crown guard and pointed crown guard versions of the Submariner 5512 are more valuable in the vintage market.<\/p>\n<p>The ref. 5512 also came with a slightly larger 40mm Oyster case, 2mm larger than its 38mm predecessor. The 40mm size remains as the standard Submariner size today.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20153\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20153\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20153 size-full\" title=\"This Submariner 5512 has earned its stripes.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0654-3-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Submariner 5512 Features\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0654-3-Edit.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0654-3-Edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0654-3-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0654-3-Edit-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0654-3-Edit-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With upgraded timekeeping capabilities the Submariner 5512 Features 4 lines of text.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The Submariner 5512 was Eventually Chronometer Rated<\/h2>\n<p>Early Submariner 5512 watches were outfitted with the non-chronometer rated Caliber 1530, therefore the dials did not include the &#8220;Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified&#8221; label. Colloquially, these models are aptly referred to as two-liner Submariner 5512 models.<\/p>\n<p>When Rolex replaced the Caliber 1530 with the chronometer-rated Caliber 1560 (and eventually the Caliber 1570), the company naturally included the SCOC text on the dial. Thus, these models are nicknamed the four-liner Submariner 5512.<\/p>\n<p>While the Submariner ref. 5512 became a chronometer, Rolex still offered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/vintage-rolex\/value-rolex-submariner-5512.html\">non-chronometer rated Submariner<\/a> with the ref. 5513. Since the 5513 was more popular during its era (probably due to its lower price point), Rolex produced more of them compared to the 5512. Furthermore, the Submariner 5513 enjoyed a much longer production run. As a result, in today&#8217;s vintage Rolex market, it&#8217;s more difficult to find a 5512 compared to a 5513.<\/p>\n<p>Other dial changes that took place during the Submariner 5512&#8217;s history was the transition from glossy black dials to matte black dials, in addition to the gilt text being replaced by white printing. Moreover, the way the depth rating was presented on the dial also transformed from displaying meters first (200 m = 660 ft) to showing feet first (660 ft = 200 m).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20166\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20166\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20166 size-full\" title=\"Submariner 5512 Features\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0572-4-Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Submariner 5512 Features\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0572-4-Edit-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0572-4-Edit-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0572-4-Edit-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0572-4-Edit-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Rolex_Submariner_5512_5D3_0572-4-Edit-1-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20166\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">What are your thoughts on the Submariner 5512 Features?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>One Reference, Dozens of Possibilities<\/h2>\n<p>The Submariner 5512 was eventually discontinued around 1978.
