The Perfect Summer Dive Watch
As summer approaches, dive watches return to the spotlight, and few brands embrace this seasonal wave quite like Doxa. Known for their bold aesthetics and underwater performance, Doxa introduces a refreshed look to its accessible Sub 200 series—this time with a polished stainless steel bezel that adds just the right pop of flash for sunny adventures.
Form Meets Function in a Classic Case
The 42mm-wide stainless steel case of the new Sub 200 might sound hefty, but its compact 46mm lug-to-lug size makes it wearable even for smaller wrists. With elegant lyre lugs, prominent chamfers, and crisp brushing, this design blends old-school charm with modern flair. The semi-recessed screw-down crown features the signature Doxa fish emblem—color-matched to the dial, of course.
Bezel Upgrade for Added Versatility
Replacing the colorful sapphire bezels of past models, these newcomers boast polished steel inserts engraved with black dive scales. The shift delivers a more understated aesthetic, likely appealing to those who prefer versatility without compromising on dive-ready functionality. Like its predecessors, this model is water-resistant to 200 meters.
Colorful Dials for Every Personality
Doxa offers eight striking dial colors, from the iconic orange “Professional” to the bold green “Sea Emerald.” The minimalist layout—ladder hands, bar indices, and limited text—gives each hue room to shine. While the white date window at 3 o’clock may split opinions, it blends seamlessly on the Whitepearl edition.
Proven Mechanics and Wear Options
Powering each model is the reliable ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. While dated in specs, it remains serviceable and dependable. Buyers can choose between a timeless steel bracelet or vibrant rubber strap, with the Sea Emerald featuring a unique green NATO strap.
