The long-selling model "Ref.5513" with a production period of approximately 27 years

Various minor changes were made,
This model has a wide variety of dial variations.

The model we are introducing this time is an early dial with a rare element among rimless dials!

"Meter First"
The mirror dial has been replaced with a matte dial that reduces light reflection.
The earliest matte dial, produced from 1967 to 1970.
A distinctive feature of this watch is that the water resistance rating at the 6 o'clock position starts at 200m, which is why it is commonly referred to as "meter first."

All matte dial Ref. 5513s except for this dial are feet first.

The well-burned tritium on this one looks really cool.
The balance of the tanning of the hands and indexes is also good.

If you look closely, you can see that the index at 1 o'clock has some luminous missing,
Other than that, the luminous material is in excellent condition!!

The dial is in excellent condition with no noticeable stains or deterioration!!

The Long 5 bezel insert also has an exquisite aging effect.
It's so cool!!

This gradation aging is amazing!!

The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches,
Since it is a vintage model, the atmosphere is not compromised at all!

The middle case is also relatively sturdy!

For individuals of this age,
As expected, the rivet bracelet fits perfectly!!

Clasp engraving/65 year 2nd edition rivet bracelet,

There is some natural creasing, but it is in good condition for a bracelet of this age!

Even so, this one has a really good face!
That's cool!!

Wrist shot!!
This is a recommended item that allows you to enjoy the taste of vintage!
It's rare to see such a beautiful meter-first design.
