Besides the heavyweights, under the names Rolex, Omega and Seiko, there is a long list of Swiss manufactures that introduced very influential and iconic dive watches during the 1960s and 1970s. Quite simply, they encompassed the proper formula of technical and design elements, which made them primus inter pares in this segment of the industry.

We will discover why this dive watch is so important by looking back at an early Doxa Sub 300, belonging to one of the preeminent Doxa collectors – and a great friend of Monochrome and me, personally – Mr.
Back in Baselworld 2016, Doxa introduced its 50 th Anniversary Sub model, a great dive watch with unquestionable pedigree.
