3. The DOXA SUB 300 is celebrating its silver anniversary as the original orange dial dive
watch turns 50 this year.
The SUB 300 was created to provide a top quality dive watch for the emerging recreational
scuba diving market. Launched in 1967, it quickly became the reference for all dive
watches that would follow.
The original DOXASUB was more than just another dive watch. In so many ways it proved
to become a piece of diving iconography. The watch chosen by US Divers as standard
equipment was also the watch that Clive Cussler gave his hero Dirk Pitt.
And that legendary orange dialed dive watch has not merely survived but continues to
thrive. Jean-Michel Cousteau and his Ocean Futures Society team have chosen the
DOXA SUB as standard equipment on their undersea expeditions, and we were on hand
again as Fabien Cousteau to trust the DOXASUB for his Mission 31 endeavor.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the DOXA SUB, we have gone back to the archives
and produced a watch that combines the look and feel of the original with the latest in Swiss
watch making know how. The result is the 50thAnniversary DOXASUB 300
Priced at $2,490, the SUB 300 presents perhaps one of the best values in professional
level dive watches available. It will be limited to 300 pieces per model, and will be available
in the three traditional DOXAversions

Like the original the case is solid, stainless steel measuring 42.5 mm in diameter, and 13.4
mm thick. The movement is ETAs 2824-2 Chronometer Grade version. Like the original
SUB 300 the stainless steel bracelet is DOXAs unique beads of rice style, with an
interesting taper from 22 mm to 20 mm where the clasp is equipped with an integrated
wetsuit extension.
The bezel displays DOXAs innovative adaptation of the US Navys maximum no
decompression limit times, which is engraved in orange on the outer unidirectional bezel.
And while the crystal bears a striking resemblance to the plexi crystal of the original 300, it
is, in fact a double bubble sapphire crystal.
The DOXASUB300Anniversary model is anticipated to ship in November of this year.
