Doxa presents the new SUB 200T

It’s the dawn of a new era for the brand’s signature diving watches with a 39mm diameter - smaller and more in tune with the times. This latest model also marks the launch of a new dial color: Sea Emerald Green, in the brand’s wide array of palettes.

T

he new Doxa SUB 200T makes a grand entrance into the collection, with a wide range of variant choices.

With a choice of dials, Iconic or Sunray, and the option of a rubber strap or the hallmark ‘beads of rice’ bracelet in stainless steel, the new SUB 200T is available in a host of variants, boasting all the technical attributes that made SUBs famous since they were first introduced in 1967.

39 mm! Beyond a passing trend, the demand for smaller, more compact diameters is growing for diving watches, too. True to the principle that a sports watch should be comfortable in all situations, below sea level or above it, Doxa is particularly pleased to present the first SUB in a 39 mm diameter case.

Doxa’s palette expands beyond its seven iconic colours – Professional Orange, Searambler Silver, Sharkhunter Black, Caribbean Navy, Divingstar Yellow, Aquamarine Turquoise, Whitepearl White – to welcome an eighth: Sea Emerald Green.

The introduction of this captivating green with the SUB 200T palette marks an aesthetic and symbolic turning point for the brand. While Doxa passionately nurtures its strong connection with the ocean and all its aquatic facets, this new hue expands the range of associations, evoking the colour of seas, lakes and lagoons, of waters and waves, across all regions of the world.

Sea Emerald Green, which Doxa is premiering on the SUB 200T, is a colour that is both timeless and of its time, resonating deeply with the essence of the brand, anchored as ever in marine adventure and the quest for discovery.

While this particular shade captures the ever-changing reflections of water – whether salty or fresh, shallow or deep, just below the surf or just above the riverbed – it also ushers in a new dimension of style for diving watch enthusiasts. With the addition of green to its colour range, Doxa bridges a previous gap in its offering, spotlighting its commitment to innovation while celebrating its rich heritage of ocean exploration.

The SUB 200T Sea Emerald distinguishes itself with golden hands and hour markers that gracefully contrast with the green dial. Beyond addressing the increasing preference for this dial, this model also emphasises the sporty, elegant spirit that now characterises the brand.

Are you drawn to the timeless elegance of the Iconic dial, which effortlessly signals subtlety and sophistication, reflecting a refined, minimalist design ethos? The perfect pick for those who appreciate understated elegance, it ensures perfect readability under any lighting condition with its anti-reflective finish.

Or is the Sunray dial, which elegantly captures every ray of light to create a mesmerising spectacle of reflections and hues, more your thing? This choice is ideal for injecting a touch of dynamism and sparkle to the wrist, enhancing your style with its captivating play of light and shadow, and offering a unique visual experience that never fails to draw attention – and spark a conversation.

As for the strap, is the sporty appeal of FKM rubber calling out to you? Known for its flexibility and light weight, it snugly fits the contours of your wrist while standing up to the rigours of the elements? It’s the go-to option for those who won’t compromise on comfort and durability, be it in their daily activities or on their outdoor adventures. Its superior material composition guarantees a comfortable fit all day long, resistant to sweat, water and extreme temperatures, making it the ultimate choice for aficionados of water sports and an active lifestyle.

Or perhaps you lean towards the timeless, dependable style of the hallmark ‘beads of rice’ bracelet in stainless steel – secured to the case with screws for absolute peace of mind? More than simply a matter of personal taste, this choice reflects a deeper appreciation for enduring quality. Opting for this bracelet means embracing a piece of Doxa’s storied legacy, one that has withstood the test of time. It conveys an appreciation of heritage, durability and effortless elegance, bridging the past and the present in an expression of refinement and reliability.

The new SUB 200T transcends mere choice. It stands as the quintessential dive watch, versatile and suitable for all wrists, combining reliability, technicality and accessibility. Faithful to Doxa principles since the launch of the first SUB in 1967, it is designed to be perfectly in sync with every moment of your life, be it on an adventure or your most elegant occasions.

The new SUB 200T skilfully retains all of the original SUB’s DNA while embracing modern style and sophistication with its smaller diameter. In reworking the spatial volumes inside the case to bring it down to an elegant 39 mm diameter and a more wearable thickness of 10.70 mm, Doxa has also tweaked the dial design to achieve a more contemporary visual presence on the wrist.

Crafted from premium 316L stainless steel, the SUB 200T is a 3-hand dive watch featuring Doxa’s famous patented unidirectional rotating bezel with its integrated US Navy no-decompression limit table, the benchmark for diver safety.

A date display at 3 o’clock and a screw-down crown round off the taut package, which is water-resistant to 200 meters (approximately 660 feet) – perfect for venturing as deep as the seabed in complete safety.

Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, all diving-related indications have been slightly refined. Most models feature a white Super-LumiNova luminescent coating for optimum legibility even in low-light conditions.

Equipped with a Swiss automatic movement with exclusive Doxa decorations, beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations/hour (4.0 Hz), the watch offers a comfortable power reserve of around 38 hours.

In essence, the SUB 200T emerges as an elegant, pure, reliable and robust Swiss diver’s watch. Considering all its plusses, it also impresses with an ultra-competitive price/performance ratio: CHF 1,490.00 for the version with the FKM rubber strap; and CHF 1,450.00 for the version with the stainless steel bracelet – with both featuring a folding clasp with wetsuit extension.
