The Doxa Army watch collection is a re-edition of a rare timepiece from the late 1960s, originally issued to Swiss Military members. In 1966, the Swiss army began setting up units of professional military divers who were trained as elite troops. By 1969, Doxa SUB watches became the official timepieces for this elite diving unit, with about 150 SUB 300T Professional watches on the wrists of Swiss Army divers. 50 years later, in 2022, on the heels of the ceramic Doxa Army Watches of Switzerland Edition, the brand launched the re-edition Doxa Army as a new collection. Today, the Doxa Army pays homage to its historical significance, appealing to collectors with its distinctive design and military heritage.
A Feature-Hefty Timepiece
True to its origins, the Doxa Army features performance-driven specifications, including a 300-meter water-resistant case in stainless steel or bronze. It incorporates superb Superluminova lume on hour markers and offers a ceramic countdown bezel in black or hunter-green options. These unidirectional rotating bezels enhance functionality and provide a striking aesthetic to cater to diverse style preferences. Driven by the Swiss mechanical automatic movements that deliver reliability with a 42-hour power reserve, the watch ensures precise timekeeping and ease of maintenance with its solid caseback.
Design Mastery Meets Power
The collection excels in performance with features designed for professional and adventurous wearers alike, including premium strap options such as the stainless steel "grains of rice" bracelet, FKM rubber, and a NATO camouflage strap featuring the original 1960s Swiss Army uniform pattern. Highlighting iconic design elements and modern enhancements, the Doxa Army honours its 50-year heritage as a timeless companion for explorers and watch enthusiasts worldwide.
