very rarely seen 5512 chronometer non date submariner

General

The model 5512 is a chronometer rated non date model , the more expensive bigger brother to the more commonly seen 5513.

During the transition phase from the gloss dials to the matte dial we would see all the way through the 1970's there was a roughly 12 month period where these interesting dial were used..all the ones i have owned have been dated 67). They have the luminous mixture and application of a gilt dial but on what would become a standard matte dial layout, i am not suggesting this commands a premium, just that you see very few of them and with their big 'half malteser' markers that just like a gilt dial still can be stirred to give some luminousity they certainly wear well on the wrist and are unmistakably 60's rather than 70's.
