The Doxa SUB collection is comprised of five different models: the 200, 200 T.Graph, 300T, 1500T, and 4000T. Doxa offers plenty of versatility when it comes to dials, with up to six color options for select models. The standard colors are orange (Professional), black (Sharkhunter), silver (Searambler), and blue (Caribbean). A few models also come in yellow (Divingstar) or turquoise (Aquamarine).
Doxa's Entry-Level Watch: The SUB 200
Doxa released the SUB 200 in 2019. This series pays tribute to the 11804 Sharkhunter from the 1960s. Each standard edition is available in all six Doxa color options. With prices starting under 1,100 USD, these watches are perfect for beginners. Doxa also announced a limited-edition version alongside the unlimited models. This watch is limited to a run of 130 pieces and celebrates the company's 130th anniversary.
The SUB 200's stainless steel case is water-resistant to 200 m (20 bar, 656 ft). It measures 42 mm in diameter, but the bezel is only 40 mm across. Thanks to its relatively short lugs, the SUB 200 is also a great option for narrower wrists. The automatic ETA caliber 2824-2 powers this watch and provides it with central hour, minute, and second hands, as well as a date display at 3 o'clock.
SuperLuminova fills both the hands and the applied bar indices. The bezel scale is also filled with this luminous material, providing optimal readability under all lighting conditions. The version with a black dial offers the most classic look, while the colorful editions look especially sporty. In terms of a band, you can choose from Doxa's characteristic "Beads of Rice" stainless steel bracelet or a black rubber strap.
The Sharkhunter (black) edition with the reference number 799.10.351.10 demands 1,100 USD on a stainless steel bracelet. The same watch costs about 1,000 USD on a rubber strap. Pre-owned pieces are still rather rare on Chrono24.
A few small details separate the limited-edition SUB 200 from the collection's standard models. These include a red lacquered second hand and the red "130 Years" inscription below the model name on the dial. The words "130 years" are also engraved on the case back. While you can no longer purchase this model from the Doxa themselves, you will occasionally find listings on Chrono24 for between 1,600 and 2,000 USD.
For Advanced Users: The Doxa SUB 300T
Doxa first introduced the SUB 300T Conquistador in 1969. It is famous for being the first diving watch with a helium escape valve to go on sale for the general public. Doxa marked this model's 50th anniversary with the release of an updated version in 2019.
The unlimited versions of this three-hand diving watch are available in all six Doxa color options. Each SUB 300T has a cushion-shaped stainless steel case that is water-resistant to 1,200 m (120 bar, 3,937 ft). At 42 mm in diameter, you'll definitely notice this timepiece on your wrist. There's also a patented unidirectional bezel with a no-decompression dive time calculator.
The SUB 300T gets its power from the ETA 2824-2 with a 38-hour power reserve. The hands and bar indices all glow in the dark thanks to a coating of SuperLuminova. Doxa lists this model on a stainless steel bracelet for 1,890 EUR (approx. 2,100 USD). The version on a rubber strap is only slightly more affordable at 1,850 EUR (approx. 2,000 USD).
Vintage SUB 300T models are available with an orange, black, yellow, or silver dial. If you'd prefer one of these historical timepieces, you should be prepared to spend between 2,700 and 5,500 USD depending on the watch's condition and functionality.
