Famously known as a life-saving tool, the Doxa Sub 300T is the ultimate sports watch. The latest special edition in this bestselling line of Doxa’s pays tribute to the life of American adventure novelist and explorer Clive Cussler who was regularly spotted wearing a Doxa Sub 300T—the one with the ‘Professional’ orange dial. In 2023, Doxa honours the brand’s partnership with the famous maritime novelist and explorer with the introduction of a special edition watch in his name called the Doxa Sub 300T Clive Cussler. This edition features a unique and rugged compass-inspired dial with an aged finish that celebrates the life and works of the Doxa-wearing author, who’s recognized internationally.
Clive Cussler
Clive Cussler is an acclaimed American adventure novelist who has written over 85 books, which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His written works such as Raise the Titanic (1976) and Sahara (1992) have been adapted for the big screen. Also a founder of the non-profit agency called National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), Cussler has been instrumental in discovering scores of shipwrecks.
His relationship with Doxa began when the author as well as his renowned fictional adventure hero Dirk Pitt—most recently played by Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey—were spotted wearing the Doxa Sub 300T with the famous orange dial. The watch also played a major role in the life of Dirk Pitt enabling him to read the time accurately while diving on his deadline-driven missions. All of this and more has led to the brand celebrating the life and works of the adventurer novelist with the release of the new and reimagined Sub 300T Clive Cussler.
All About The Doxa Sub 300T Clive Cussler Special Edition
Despite its signature sporty appeal, the new Doxa Sub 300T Clive Cussler brings forward a historical and artistic outlook that was never present before. The timepiece comes in an original handmade dial that symbolises a vintage compass. The use of an aged steel appearance—present on the watch, bracelet, clasp and pin buckle—gives the timepiece a vintage appeal that would make it the perfect companion for adventurers in Cussler’s novels. Apart from the aesthetic appeal, the aged effect also symbolises the journey of a nautical artefact which has submerged underwater.
The Doxa Sub 300T Clive Cussler comes in a 42mm, faceted and structured stainless steel case with an individually engraved exclusive number on the side of the bezel. The watch features a special design which celebrates Cussler’s birthday, July 15, 1931, with the dates 7, 15, and 31 displayed in red. The time and date functions run on a Swiss mechanical movement offering a power reserve of 38 hours.
Supporting the efforts of the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), the caseback of the watch is home to the name of shipwrecks and other historical artefacts discovered or surveyed by the agency up until 2022.
A limited edition, this novelty comes strapped with an aged stainless steel, coated ‘beads of rice’ bracelet, with an extra NATO beige strap provided.
In honour of the incredible connection between Clive Cussler and Doxa, a percentage of the sales of this watch will be donated to the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), founded by Cussler in 1979.
