The Rolex Submariner 5512 represents one of the most important references in the Submariner lineage. Introduced in 1959, it was the first Submariner reference to feature crown guards and COSC certification. The 1965 model notably features the Calibre 1570 movement, which replaced the earlier Calibre 1560.
