The reissued SUB 200 is still a three-handed dive watch with a case made of 316L stainless steel and specced to 200 meters of water resistance. With a diameter of 42 mm and 14 mm thin, it is topped by a sapphire crystal that takes on the distinctive shape of the domed plexiglass used back in the day. It features a velvety dial in a number of colorways with baton-type hands, applied indexes and markers on the bezel, all of which are coated with Super-LumiNova beige “Light-Old Radium” to accentuate the vintage character. A date window in contrasting white is placed at 3 o’clock.
Doxa SUB 200 ‘Sharkhunter’
The watch is powered by the workhorse ETA 2824-2, a self-winding movement with a power reserve of 42 hours. The watch is paired with the distinctive beads-of-rice bracelet, also made of 316L steel and featuring a folding clasp with diving extension.
There’s also a limited-edition version available that commemorates the 130th anniversary of Doxa.
The standard model — available in black, orange, turquoise, silver, yellow, and blue — will be out in November of this year. It’s priced at $950 on a rubber strap and $990 with the bracelet option. A 130-piece, limited-edition version celebrating the 130th anniversary of Doxa (pictured above) will also be available for $1,190 this October.
People who buy watches don’t buy the CEO of a company. They usually buy the product itself and what it represents.
In Rolex’s case they buy Hans Wilsdorf the creator and his legacy.
How can you compare any Doxa to a Rolex and it’s legacy or any of it’s products past or present ?
Good going Doxa! Hooray for a company for keeping their vision straight and true to their heritage, unlike Rolex, who continues to spoil their reputation with a ceo who is oblivious. The contrast between the 2 companies is distinctive.
Great watches, tried to order the limited edition, however taxes and shipping costs are not disclosed and when I asked Doxa they were incredibly vague. Bought a Yema Superman GMT instead, all inclusive package, Doxa could learn a lot from Yema.

Didn’t used to compare and wouldn’t have thought to compare before Rolex stopped producing their sport line watches for a marketing gimmick.
