Just for the pleasure of sharing: my Doxa Army
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!

Muchas gracias amigo Nicolas!
I’m happy to know you like it! Yes, dial and hand set are very nice and distinctive! Abrazos!!
You bring an interesting detail here which I hadn´t paid attention before: the COSC certification. The most popular and well known Doxa is the "Sub 300" which is equipped with...
... a 26 jewells COSC certified movement. The Army model information tells that its movement is a 25 jewels and don´t mentions it is so certified, so it seems to be a different movement. My experience with my Sub 300 is that they are very accurate. I didn...
Wow thanks for these additional details Abel! I find the army model superb!
Out of the 300 model, I think I would go for the orange dial … it’s a great brand!
You are welcome Yacomino! It’s a pleasure to share these details.
Whichever you choose you won’t be disappointed. Best, Abel
That’s an attention grabbing Doxa, for sure.🔥
And that strap complements it beautifully. I imagine a similar dark green canvas strap would also be great.
Thank you so much Armis for your comments!
Glad you like my straps choice. Agree that green could be a nice alternative. Cheers!
Looking good Abel ! …
Congratulations on getting this one. The touch of gold really makes this one interesting and a different take on the Doxa.
Thank you so much Captain!
Agree about the golden touch. It’s also available with a steel bezel but I wished to add a touch of color there for a different look. Glad you approve! Cheers! Abel
This is a gorgeous Doxa!
Love the colour design and style! And strap is perfect on this!
You're very welcome!
I must admit that I never really considered acquiring a Doxa, until your post! The design of this version is very appealing to me! Tempted to place an order for the green bezel/rubber strap, though this will not be released in the UK until April 2023.
I´m glad to know my post could influence you on considering a Doxa for your collection. This version is really appealing I agree. I was lucky to place an order a few months ago...
... when they were offering a batch for shipping during October in the USA. They honored the offering and the watch was shipped around mid October and my daughter brought it to me last weekend from the USA. I have checked the web page and I see that the s...
Thank you Abel.
Five months wait is nothing really, so yes, just bought it. I'm not normally so spontaneous with watches, but could not resist! I do also have another incoming (which was only an 11 week wait), and will post shots when I receive it. Hopefully very soon.
Doxa divers are something else...
and the Army is the coolest of them all. Love it. Darren
This is a great looking watch.
I hope that I can discover it in real over the next weeks.
I think Doxa might have gotten their inspiration for the Army dial . . .
