2024 DOXA SUB 300β Beta Sharkhunter Ceramic 42.5mm

Here we have a 2024 DOXA SUB 300β "Beta" Sharkhunter Ceramic, reference 830.20.101ND.20. This stealthy Swiss dive timepiece features a 42.5mm matte black ceramic case built on a lightweight titanium case, showcasing the brand’s historic cushion-shaped silhouette with a modern, high-tech twist. The case features smooth, non-reflective micro-blasted surfaces that emphasise its technical purpose, offering an incredibly compact lug-to-lug length of 44.5mm and a slender thickness of 12mm, ensuring an exceptionally comfortable and ergonomic fit on the wrist. An 18K 3N gold screw-down crown and a solid titanium caseback contribute to a serious 300-metre water resistance. The standout feature of this model is the sophisticated matte black Sharkhunter dial, accented by 18K 3N gold hands and applied indexes, creating a striking, high-contrast luxury aesthetic. Framing the dial is DOXA's signature patented unidirectional rotating bezel, here crafted from 18K 3N gold and black ceramic to display the dual US Navy no-decompression dive table tracks. The iconic oversized minute hand and the hour markers are generously filled with Super-LumiNova for maximum low-light legibility. A date window is cleanly integrated at 3 o'clock, maintaining the tool-watch functionality. Protecting this stealthy diving instrument is a flat sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective coating. Inside beats the reliable automatic Sellita Calibre SW200-1, a premium Swiss workhorse featuring 26 jewels and a high-beat frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. This calibre is celebrated across the industry for its durability and ease of service, offering a 38-hour power reserve and hacking seconds for precise time-setting. The watch comes paired with a bespoke 20mm black FKM rubber strap and a black PVD-coated folding clasp featuring an integrated adjustable diving extension, anchoring this modern diver securely over a wetsuit or on the bare wrist. The strap is cut to size at 8.4 inches and can be cut smaller.

This watch is sold with its original DOXA box and paperwork. The watch comes paired with a bespoke 20mm black FKM rubber strap and a black PVD-coated folding clasp featuring an integrated adjustable diving extension, anchoring this modern diver securely over a wetsuit or on the bare wrist. The strap is cut to size at 8.4 inches and can be cut smaller. The watch is from August 2024 and is in worn condition, but overall it is in very fair condition, as you can see. The watch comes with our 12-Month Warranty.

I love how stealthy this DOXA feels in person. The matte black ceramic case and dial give it a really modern, almost tactical look, but the subtle gold accents stop it from feeling flat or overly aggressive. What surprised me most, though, is just how legible it actually is on the wrist. In photos, the black-on-black aesthetic can make it look quite dark and subdued, but in person, the contrast between the hands, markers, and bezel works brilliantly. It’s one of those watches that looks cool in pictures, but makes a lot more sense the moment you handle it and have it on your wrist. I would not hesitate to book an appointment and see this one in the Ceramic for yourself!

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's 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 Montres DOXA”. The company was finally sold in 1997 to the Jenny family, transferring their headquarters to Bienne, Switzerland.
