Doxa SUB 200T Caribbean

Doxa are a name that resonates deeply within the watch collector community, even if they remains somewhat under the radar for the general public. This storied brand introduced the SUB concept, which houses purpose-driven dive watches with elements like bright-coloured dials, flex buckles, and high water resistance, aiding in improving performance underwater. Today, the Doxa dive watches are considered an excellent choice among professional and recreational divers.

The SUB 200T, launched in 2024, stands out as one of Doxa's most notable releases in recent years. This latest addition to their portfolio of dive watches showcases Doxa's commitment to modernity and comfort. Sub 200T takes its tonneau shape and overall build from its widely successful sibling, Sub 300T. The Sub 200T is an attempt to downsize the traditional bulky dive watch case and infuse vibrant colours into the dials. This reduction in size ensures a more comfortable fit on the wrist, appealing to both genders.

Design Aesthetics

The Sub 200T features a flat sapphire crystal, 18mm wide lugs, and a distinctive 39mm case size, available with the signature ‘beads of rice’ bracelet or a fitted rubber strap. The watch sits low on the wrist, with its shape designed to keep it securely in place. The standout feature of the Sub 200T is its array of available colourways, like the unique sea emerald green, adding a fresh and modern flair to its design.

Movement

At the heart of the Sub 200T is the Swiss-made Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. This reliable engine offers a power reserve of 38 hours, operates at a frequency of 4Hz, provides the traditional timekeeping functions, and also a date display at the three o'clock. The inclusion of this movement ensures that the Sub 200T is technically robust, maintaining Doxa's reputation for quality and precision. Moreover, the watches under the collection boast 200m water resistance.

With its reduced case, vibrant dial options, and reliable Swiss movement, the Sub 200T is a modern dive watch that honours Doxa's legacy while appealing to contemporary watch enthusiasts.
