Dive into the Depths with the DOXA SUB 300β

DOXA’s latest collection of diving watches masterfully blends the robust functionality of a tool watch with the sleek sophistication desired for urban elegance. With five color variations, there’s a DOXA SUB 300β for every occasion, seamlessly transitioning from the depths of the sea to the heights of city sophistication.

Dive into the Depths with the DOXA SUB 300β

The DOXA SUB series, introduced in 1967, represents a significant milestone in the history of diving watches. It was the first professional diving watch aimed at a wider audience, setting a new standard in the industry. This watch was notable for its water resistance of up to 30 ATM (300 meters) and featured a pioneering unidirectional rotating bezel. This bezel, a DOXA patent, uniquely combines dive time and depth indications, integrating the US Navy’s no-decompression dive table values for safer diving practices.

The SUB series was easily identifiable by its distinctive bright orange dial, a brace choice contrasting the traditional black or white dials of the era. This design gained widespread recognition from 1968 onwards prominently featured on the wrists of divers in the televised series ‘The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau.’ Jacques-Yves Cousteau, a key figure in modern scuba diving, admired the SUB 300 so much that he secured exclusive distribution rights in the USA.

The new DOXA SUB 300β, introduced today, is a testament to the brand’s commitment to blending functionality with style. Adhering to the concept that a sports watch should not only excel in sports, the SUB 300β maintains all the essential tool watch features while adopting a more refined design.

These timepieces keep the 42.5 mm diameter but significantly change the case design. DOXA has skillfully slimmed down the watch’s profile to just 11.95 mm, a noticeable reduction from the SUB 300 T’s 13.65 mm. Additionally, the bezel height has been reduced by 0.5 mm. These alterations result in a watch with lighter, more contemporary proportions, balancing robust functionality with a sleeker look.

The stainless steel case upholds the SUB 300β’s functional integrity, ensuring durability and resilience. A black ceramic bezel and a screw-down crown enhance the watch’s sporty yet chic vibe. The dial features a sunburst finish and an understated wave motif interacting dynamically with light, creating a radiant backdrop for the information displayed by the hands, hour markers, and date function.
