The DOXA SUB 200T: New Dials and New Dimensions
It is fair to say that in the world of fine watchmaking, few events stir as much excitement as the launch of a new timepiece, especially when it comes from a brand as storied as DOXA. This year, DOXA is introducing a reimagined SUB 200T, a watch that not only respects the rich heritage of the SUB series but also introduces innovative elements that make it a modern classic. Among these, the captivating array of dial colors and the emphasis on wearable elegance stand out, signaling a new chapter in the legacy of DOXA dive watches.
DOXA CEO Jan Edöcs is excited about the new launch: “I believe that we have created a watch that is very versatile and that can be worn from the sea to the beach for the afternoon, as well as for a long day in the office. We have created the little brother of the SUB 300T, but it’s still a watch that can be used as a serious dive watch.”
A Kaleidoscope of Colors
The new SUB 200T doesn't just come in different colors; it is a celebration of them! With a palette now extending to eight DOXA signature colors, the new line has something for every taste and occasion. From the original Professional Orange to the newly introduced Sea Emerald Green, each color has its own tale to tell, each hue a whisper of the deep. These colors are more than just aesthetic choices; they are an homage to the brand’s deep-rooted connection with the ocean’s ever-changing landscape. The Sea Emerald Green, in particular, is a standout addition, embodying the serenity and mystery of underwater realms.
The SUB 200T offers two dial options: the Iconic and the Sunray. The Iconic dial is a masterpiece of subtlety and sophistication, designed for those who find elegance in simplicity. Its anti-reflective finish ensures readability in any light, making it a perfect companion for both outdoor adventurers and the boardroom. On the other hand, the Sunray dial captures the imagination with its dynamic interplay of light, offering a vibrant spectacle that changes with every turn of the wrist. It’s a dial that doesn’t just tell time; it tells a story.
Diminutive Dimensions
The SUB 200T features a prominent crown protection thanks to a redesigned case shape for enhanced use in the field, as well as the inclusion of DOXA’s patented No Deco bezel, another professional touch for this new dive hero.
Furthermore, in response to the growing demand for smaller, more wearable watch diameters, DOXA introduces the SUB 200T in a 39mm case. This size is a perfect balance between presence and comfort, making the watch suitable for all wrist sizes and occasions. It’s a testament to DOXA’s commitment to not just following trends but understanding the evolving needs of watch enthusiasts.
This new case size is an important aspect of the watch for CEO Jan Edöcs: “A large 42mm dive watch can become heavy over a day. At 39mm the SUB 200T is a wearable watch that can appeal to a very broad international clientele. I am also very confident that this watch will have unisex appeal to everybody that is looking for a professional sports watch.”
Dress for Success
The SUB 200T extends its versatility to its strap and bracelet options, offering either a sporty FKM rubber strap or the classic ‘beads of rice’ stainless steel bracelet. The rubber strap, known for its durability and comfort, sits snugly on the wrist for a perfect fit, making it ideal for active wearers. The stainless-steel bracelet, a nod to DOXA’s heritage, offers timeless elegance and a sense of permanence. Both options reflect the wearer's lifestyle and aesthetics, ensuring that the SUB 200T is not just a timepiece but an extension of one’s personal style.
However, the SUB 200T isn’t just about looks; it's a beacon of technical prowess. With its patented unidirectional rotating bezel, screw-down crown, and water resistance up to 200 meters, it’s built for the depths yet designed for everyday wear. Adding to the excellence of the SUB 200T is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, complemented by an anti-reflective coating. This feature ensures clear visibility of its dials and hands, which are coated with white Super-LumiNova, offering exceptional legibility even in dark underwater environments or low-light conditions.
At the heart of this remarkable timepiece is a Swiss automatic movement, adorned with exclusive DOXA decorations and operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, guaranteeing precision and a robust power reserve of approximately 38 hours.
The new SUB 200T is a testament to DOXA's unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, functionality and style. Whether you're an ardent diver, a watch aficionado, or someone who appreciates the finer things in life, the SUB 200T is designed to complement every aspect of your lifestyle. Priced competitively, the SUB 200T is not just an investment in a timepiece but in a piece of history. It represents a seamless blend of DOXA’s storied past and its vision for the future, offering a watch that is timeless yet timely, classic yet contemporary. Available now at DOXA retail locations and online, the SUB 200T is a watch that is the perfect accessory to take you through your next adventures.
