SUB 300 Ti5 Clive Cussler

DOXA marks what would have been Clive Cussler’s 95th birthday with the SUB 300 Ti5 Clive Cussler, a limited edition of 300 numbered pieces that returns to the model where the brand’s dive watch story began. The SUB 300, introduced in 1967, was the first dive watch designed for the general public while meeting professional standards, and it was the watch Cussler wrote onto the wrist of his hero Dirk Pitt. This COSC-certified edition reimagines that original in Grade 5 titanium, a material returning to the DOXA collection for the first time in years.

The most significant technical development is the dual-plane dial, itself made of two superimposed Grade 5 titanium plates. The lower dial carries the Super-LumiNova hour markers and minute track, while the upper dial features laser-cut apertures matching the exact geometry of the indexes beneath, revealing the luminous elements below and creating a genuine sense of depth in changing light. The fundamentals remain intact: 300 meters of water resistance, DOXA’s patented unidirectional bezel correlating depth with US Navy no-decompression limits, a glass box sapphire crystal, and the oversized orange minute hand. The date numerals 15, 7, and 31 appear in DOXA orange, referencing Cussler’s birth date.

The 42.50 mm case, caseback and screw-down crown are all Grade 5 titanium, worn on a black Dive Flex rubber strap with a 1960s-inspired perforated pattern. Available from July 15, 2026, with part of the proceeds supporting NUMA, the marine agency Cussler founded in 1979.
