Design

Case and Dial

The watch is housed in a 43mm cushion case, a hallmark of the 300T model line. It incorporates a unidirectional rotating bezel that bears the US Navy’s no-decompression dive timing marks. A key design element of this specific case configuration is the recessed crown, intended to sit protected within the case profile. The crystal, constructed of mineral material, is fitted to sit flush against the inner edge of the bezel. The matte-black dial is oriented for high legibility, a feature prioritized in the development of the Sub series. It is configured with printed hour indices and a date aperture located at the 3 o’clock position. Time is indicated by an oversized minute hand paired with a distinct 'dwarf' hour hand. The luminous material present on these elements exhibits signs of patina, while the dial text remains intact.

Visible features

• Unidirectional dive bezel with red and black graduation • 'Beads-of-rice' style stainless steel link bracelet • Recessed crown positioned at 3 o'clock • Matte black dial with 'Doxa automatic' and 'Sub 300T sharkhunter' text

Movement and Construction

The internal mechanism is an automatic, Swiss-made Caliber 58 movement. This movement serves as the operational core of the watch. The overall design of the Sub series, introduced in 1967, introduced specific technical innovations for the era, including the aforementioned unidirectional bezel and specialized dial legibility. The watch is equipped with a stainless steel 'beads-of-rice' bracelet, which is original to the configuration and includes a clasp signed by Doxa. The provided package includes the watch along with its factory kit.

Provenance and Model History

The Doxa Sub series occupies a position in the history of diver's watch development. The initial generation of the model was introduced in 1967 and included various colorway options, such as the 'Professional' with an orange dial and the 'Sharkhunter' version featured here. The model line is associated with the early development of modern dive watch standards. This particular object is presented as an example of that line, preserved with its complete factory kit for potential use.
