The Doxa SUB 300T Slim, colourful and COSC certified

Reinterpretation of the Doxa Sub 300 from 2017

These new six editions very much look like a non-limited version of the 50th Anniversary Doxa Sub 300 from 2017. These were presented during Basel World in 2016. Those timepieces were offered in black, silver and orange and limited to 300 pieces. I can already feel a certain angered heat rising from the homes of the limited edition 50th Anniversary owners. But anyway…

Embracing the past, Doxa decided to slimmer the case height and went from 14 mm to 13.4 mm. Add an extra mm for the domed crystal, but still those six mm’s makes quite the difference when wearing the watch. Less heft on the wrist, more candy to the eye.

This reinterpretation of the Doxa SUB 300T comes in a choice of six colours. Already known from the Doxa archives (yellow and turquoise can be found in the Sub 200 range): Searambler (silver dial), Caribbean (blue dial), Diving Star (yellow dial), Aquamarine (turquoise dial), Shark Hunter (black dial) and Professional (orange dial).

Work horse

The automatic 3-hander movement on the Doxa Sub 300 is a chronometer certified workhorse. The ETA 2824-2 secures a very decent daily accuracy of +4/-6 seconds and 38 hours of power reserve.

So… if you are the owner of the LE50th COSC certified edition already, does this colourful launch priced at € 1850 (on rubber and another € 40 for the vintage inspired “Beads of Rice” steel bracelet with wetsuit extension) make you upset? If you did not get the edition from 2017, rush to the Doxa website and find the colour you want. On a personal note, I went for the Caribbean on bracelet.
