Doxa, famous for its cushion-case diving watches, presents the SUB 300 Beta, a more elegant and refined version of its flagship model. Let's discover together the secrets of this watch which combines performance and refinement.
An iconic cushion case, revisited with subtlety
Faithful to the emblematic aesthetic of Doxa, the SUB 300 Beta features a 316L stainless steel cushion case measuring 42.5 mm in diameter. However, with a thickness of only 11.95 mm, it has a thinner profile than that of the SUB 300 and SUB 300T collections. This refined design gives the watch a more discreet and sophisticated look, while preserving its DNA as a true diving tool, as evidenced by its water resistance to 300 meters.
A ceramic bezel and textured dial for a touch of elegance
One of the particularities of the SUB 300 Beta lies in its unidirectional ceramic bezel, equipped with the decompression scale patented by Doxa. This high-tech material brings a touch of refinement to the watch, while ensuring excellent resistance to scratches and wear. The colored depth indexes contrast with the monochrome sobriety of the bezel, providing a subtle touch of color.
The dial of the SUB 300 Beta is adorned with a sunburst finish and a guillochรฉ texture with horizontal wave patterns. This meticulous work gives the watch a more dynamic and refined appearance, playing with the reflections of light. The luminescent indexes and the imposing minute hand ensure optimal readability, while the date window at 3 o'clock completes the ensemble.
A proven automatic movement and a guarantee of reliability
At the heart of the Doxa SUB 300 Beta beats the Sellita SW200 caliber, an automatic movement renowned for its robustness and precision. With its frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and its power reserve of approximately 38 hours, this movement is a pragmatic and reliable choice for a three-hand diving watch.
Matching strap and rubber for maximum versatility
The SUB 300 Beta is available with a stainless steel โgrain of riceโ mesh bracelet or an FKM rubber strap matching the color of the dial. If the proportions of the bracelet and the clasp may seem a little imposing in relation to the case, their solid construction and their comfort to wear remain undeniable. The rubber strap, for its part, offers a practical and aesthetic alternative for nautical activities.
With the SUB 300 Beta, Doxa has succeeded in offering a more refined version of its most emblematic model, without betraying its essence as a true diving watch. Priced from $2,250 on a rubber strap and $2,290 on a steel bracelet, this watch will appeal to diving watch enthusiasts looking for a model combining performance and elegance. A great success for Doxa, which once again proves its know-how in underwater watches!
