The Watch

Here we have a 2019 Doxa SUB 300T Searambler 879.10.021.10 celebrating the 50th Anniversary release of the 1969 SUB 300T Conquistador which was the first publicly available dive watch with a Helium escape valve, this model is slightly different to the original due to the absence of the Helium escape valve. The 42.5mm C-shaped stainless steel case sits on the wrist like a cushion, this case was designed and developed by Urs Eschle who was the product manager for the original DOXA SUB, polished sides and brushed top surfaces transition with crisp edges towards the stubby lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 45mm and a case thickness of 13.5mm gives the watch an impressive wrist presence. At 3 o’clock a screw-down crown that fits recessed into the side of the case for protection and is signed with an orange DOXA fish, the unidirectional bezel has the U.S. Navy No Decompression scales, with an outer depth scale in orange and the minute scale in black, to allow divers to gauge how much air was left in their tanks. The boxed sapphire crystal sits above the silver dial, and large double baton indexes with lume down their centres mark the hours. At 3 o’clock a framed date window, a small black hour hand with a larger orange minute hand is complemented by a black second hand with an orange square counterweight, this colour combination is highly visible when diving. A crosshair on the dial has text on the upper left side with “DOXA” and “automatic” printed, on the lower right side, “SUB 300” “Searambler ''. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the DOXA motif in bas-relief in the centre, inside automatic ETA 2824-2, 25 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour. The watch comes fitted on a 20mm stainless steel “beads of rice” bracelet with brushed and polished finishing, secured with screws and has a push-button release folding signed clasp with a dive extension and the watch also comes with its Doxa presentation box, swing tag and papers.

In 1925 Georges became the vice president of the Swiss Horology Society. 1936 saw Georges' passing and the company was now in the hands of son-in-law Jaques Nardin the grandson of Ulysse Nardin. In 1944 the company was renamed “Manufacture des Montre DOXA”. The company was finally sold in 1997 to the Jenny family, transferring their headquarters to Bienne Switzerland.
