Rolex Submariner 116613LB “Bluesy” Review

The Rolex Submariner 116613LB, affectionately known as the “Bluesy,” is a striking interpretation of the legendary Submariner line. Introduced in 2009, this model perfectly combines luxury craftsmanship and professional dive functionality, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

1. Case & Material

The 116613LB showcases a refined two-tone construction, blending 904L Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold. This combination offers both resilience and radiance, symbolizing Rolex’s mastery of elegance and engineering. The 40mm Oyster case maintains the classic proportions that define the Submariner’s timeless silhouette.

2. Dial & Bezel

The watch’s sunburst blue dial — the inspiration for its “Bluesy” nickname — captivates with a dynamic play of light, transitioning from deep navy to vibrant royal blue. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a blue Cerachrom ceramic insert, renowned for its exceptional scratch resistance. Its numerals and graduations are PVD-coated in gold, adding a luxurious contrast to the design.

3. Movement

Inside beats the Rolex Caliber 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement celebrated for its accuracy and reliability. With a 48-hour power reserve and COSC chronometer certification, the 116613LB ensures precise timekeeping under any conditions.

4. Bracelet

The iconic Oyster bracelet continues the two-tone theme, pairing Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold center links. It’s equipped with Rolex’s Oysterlock clasp for safety and the Glidelock extension system, allowing fine adjustments without tools — perfect for transitioning from boardroom to wetsuit.

5. Water Resistance & Durability

True to the Submariner lineage, the 116613LB delivers 300 meters (1,000 feet) of water resistance. Its Triplock crown and solid caseback reinforce the brand’s dedication to professional dive standards.

6. Aesthetic & Legacy

The Submariner 116613LB “Bluesy” harmonizes tool-watch robustness with refined luxury. The interplay between steel, gold, and blue gives this model its unmistakable identity — a timepiece equally suited for the ocean depths or elegant evening wear. It remains one of the most recognizable and desirable two-tone Rolex watches ever made.
