His detailed observations provide a valuable resource for both new and established Doxa enthusiasts considering this unique diver.

Just arrived yesterday late and I was too lazy today to adjust its steel bracelet so I took it off and installed these canvas straps to be able to wear it fast.

The watch comes with a well made Nato strap with a beautiful buckle but I’m not fond of its brown camouflage pattern.

I choose the bronze bezel/green insert version to add a touch of gold color to the watch. The green insert is so dark that looks black even in sunlight.

The dial is truly impressive and different to the usual Doxa diving watches in my collection.

Have a nice Sunday dear friends!

Key Points from the Discussion

The Doxa Army's movement is a 26-jewel COSC-certified caliber, which differs from the 25-jewel, non-certified movement mentioned in some model information. Subexplorer notes his Doxa Sub 300 models are highly accurate.
Subexplorer explains his preference for the bronze bezel/green insert version, which adds a 'golden touch' and a distinct look compared to the steel bezel option. He also discusses his other Doxa dial preferences, including the iconic orange, the elegant silver Searambler, and the high-contrast black Sharkhunter.
The bronze bezel Doxa Army experienced significant shipping delays, with some orders placed in late 2022 not expected until April 2023, while the steel bezel version was immediately available. Subexplorer received his earlier due to a US batch offering.
The original post inspired at least one forum member to spontaneously purchase the Doxa Army, despite a five-month waiting period for the green bezel/rubber strap version in the UK.
Community members praised the bronze bezel for adding an interesting 'touch of gold' and a different take on the Doxa aesthetic, with one noting the chosen canvas strap complements the watch beautifully.
The Doxa Army's dial and handset are described as 'impressive and different' from other Doxa diving watches, contributing to its distinctive appeal.

Agree with Nico.

Perfect color palette. IMHO it is more of a racer than army.
