About the Doxa Ref. Sub300

The Doxa SUB 300 is a notable offering within the brand's collection, distinguished by its relatively slender profile compared to some of its counterparts. This reference is recognized for its adherence to chronometer standards, indicated by its COSC certification, which assures a high degree of timekeeping precision. It represents a contemporary interpretation that balances historical design cues with modern horological requirements.

This particular SUB 300 model features a stainless steel case, typically measuring around 42.5mm in diameter, though its design contributes to a perception of reduced thickness on the wrist. It is powered by an automatic movement, often a variant of the ETA 2824-2, which provides a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, enhancing its durability and scratch resistance, and offers a water resistance rating suitable for its intended use.

For collectors, the SUB 300 appeals to those seeking a robust and precise tool watch with a distinct aesthetic. Its COSC certification adds a layer of technical appeal, positioning it as a reliable performer. The design, while contemporary, maintains a clear lineage to Doxa's heritage, making it a relevant piece for enthusiasts interested in the brand's evolution and its commitment to certified accuracy.

Congrats on the addition!

It looks great, so different from other models. I was on the fence but the last time I saw a carbon watch the bezel was peeling off like puff pastry on a mille-feuille cake. The watch was from a major swiss brand, hopefully doxa did it better!
