The introduction of the Doxa SUB 300 in 1967 was the beginning of a great dive timekeeping era. The watch that quickly captured the market became a real industry heavyweight in 1968 when Jacques-Yves Cousteau and the crew of the ship Calypso spotlighted it and its outstanding utility to TV audiences worldwide in the series ‘The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau’. The SUB 300’s unique double-scale bezel, showing depths in orange and time in black, changed how dive watches work. The new-generation DOXA SUB 300 pays homage to the most inventive watch of the late 1960s, taking us back to the early days of contemporary diving pioneers.
The Doxa SUB 300’s design is distinctive and functional, highlighted by its broad, flat case that tapers smoothly to the wrist. With a diameter of 42.5mm, the SUB 300 creates a striking visual impact. A SUB 300’s dial comes with a radiant sunburst texture, combined with black hour markers lined with Super-Luminova, enhancing legibility and aesthetic appeal. The hour and minute hands are uniquely proportioned, with a greatly oversized minute hand and a puny hour hand, which contrasts the typical dive watch design.
