History of DOXA SUB 300 watches
DOXA first made its mark in 1898 in the small Swiss town of Le Locle. The brand was established by Georges Ducommun who set out to curate the finest Swiss-standard watches that embody a concept of quality and trustworthiness.
In 1967, DOXA launched the revolutionary SUB concept, considered amongst many to be the first truly-purpose-designed diver’s watch accessible to a broader public. The radical innovations DOXA introduced at the time soon made it the benchmark for professionals too.
DOXA was the first to feature a unidirectional bezel with a dual scale for depth and dive time to calculate a safe ascent without decompression stop and most radical of all, the orange dial which vastly improved readability for underwater divers.
Today, DOXA is still 100% hand assembled in the heart of Switzerland and is renowned for its remarkable diving watches that have become essential to beginners, collector’s and professionals.
What makes DOXA SUB 300 watches unique?
The DOXA SUB 300 uses an ETA 2824-2 Swiss automatic movement. With a date at three, controls via a single screw-down crown, and COSC certification, the SUB 300 is fitted with a robust and steady movement that is capable of superb performance. Very few watches wear like a DOXA SUB 300. The perfect harmony of the small dial, the curvy case, and the short lugs coming together is nothing short of sublime.
