Rolex Submariner 5508

The Rolex Submariner 5508 is a classic “Small Crown” Submariner, produced from the late 1950s through the early 1960s, and celebrated for its elegant, understated proportions. Featuring a 37mm stainless steel case without crown guards, a slim profile, and a black rotating bezel, it carries a depth rating of 100 meters—making it a true tool watch of its time. Powered by the reliable Caliber 1530, the 5508 is often seen with gilt dials and distinctive vintage patina. Loved by collectors for its clean lines and historical significance, it represents the last of the early, minimalist Submariner designs before the model evolved into a more robust professional diver.
