2024 Doxa SUB 1500T Professional Orange 45mm

Here we have a 2024 Doxa SUB 1500T Professional Orange paying tribute to their 1968 SUB 300T Conquistador, which was the first publicly available dive watch with a Helium escape valve and patented bezel. The 45mm C-shaped 316L stainless steel case sits on the wrist like a cushion. This case was designed and developed in 1968 by Urs Eschle, who was the product manager and his team, polished sides and brushed top surfaces transitioned with crisp edges towards the stubby lugs. A lug-to-lug length of 47mm and a case thickness of 16mm give the watch an impressive presence on the wrist. 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, on the left side at 9 o’clock we have the integrated Helium escape valve, the patented unidirectional bezel has the U.S. Navy No Decompression scales, with an outer depth scale in feet 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 iconic orange dial, and large double baton indexes with SuperLumiNova down their centres mark the hours. At 3 o’clock, a framed date window, featuring a small black hour hand and a larger black minute hand, is complemented by a black second hand with a black square counterweight filled with SuperLumiNova. This colour combination is highly visible when diving. A crosshair on the dial features text on the upper left side, with “DOXA” and “automatic” printed, and on the lower right side, “SUB 1500T” and “Professional”. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the details of the watch engraved around its edge and the DOXA motif on top of waves in bas-relief in the centre, inside a Swiss automatic movement. It comes paired with its 20mm 316L stainless steel 5-link bracelet, featuring brushed and polished finishing, secured with screws. The watch also has a push-button release folding signed deployant clasp with a dive extension. Additionally, it includes a Doxa presentation box, swing tag, and papers.

This watch is sold with its original Doxa box and Doxa paperwork. It comes paired with its original 21mm Doxa 5-link 316L stainless steel polished and brushed signed bracelet, featuring a folding deployant clasp and dive extension; all links are included. The watch is from June 2024 and is sold in worn condition, but overall fair condition, as you can see. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

This is the Doxa SUB 1500T Professional Orange in 45mm, and it really does deserve the word 'Professional' in its title. This watch is an absolute tank on the wrist, and you know you are wearing something designed for a task, which in this case is deep-sea diving. Featuring a helium escape value, an orange dial with impressive lume and a thick, robust bracelet that has plenty of dive extension.

Doxa was established in 1889 in Le Locle, Switzerland, by Georges Ducommun. In 1921, Doxa became the supplier of dash clocks to Bugatti. 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.
