Doxa dive watches are pretty well known amongst dive enthusiasts and watch fans. How did it get there? What features make the Sub 300T unique in the watch industry and why their iconic design endures today.
Honored that my Caribbean GMT could help you in making this video. Doxa is a wonderful brand and I have been a fan of the watch for decades. As well as an owner of many.....two of which I still own that I purchased in 2006. Great great video.
Your video and information was so invaluable to my video and channel, sir. Now if only can afford one and review first hand.
Do you still wear the Carribean Doxa?
The current batch of 300T's, and new ones moving forward have HEV's. Including mine bought in June.
Oh nice. Thanks for the correction.
An excellent, entertaining and very informative video! Thank you!
Thanks for your support
Excellent video ! I own a sub 6000t professional and have used it diving. At 100ft the orange dial looks chocolate brown. Love Doxa!
we admire people like you who really put these tool watches for their intended use. its great insight for use to hear that its actually choco brown under ocean. Thank you sir.
More about contrast at depth then colour. Had a buddy with yellow fins and was shocked how well I could see him at 100ft since most colours are very different at that depth!
I only have an in ground swimming pool and live in the prairies but i still want a Doxa!
A very helpful video on one of the best watches around. Helped with my 300T purchase. Thank you.
This video has helped me chose the right model, Thank you for a very informative video.
I’m always happy to help someone. This made my day.
Just bought a 300t Caribbean...awesome watch.
What an awesome video. Excellent animations. You have a good voice and rhythm for this!
What a refreshing approach to a watch review. I love Procreate and you have created a seriously cool video. Subscribed and can’t wait to see the next one. 🙏
You're the first one to comment about me using Procreate. It's seriously the best drawing app on the iPad. it saved me a lot of work and kept all of the tasks in the iPad.
As I diver Doxa has a certain magic. Remember my dive shop selling them when I was using Seikos or Citizens...
It feels like a car dealership when you put it that way. It's like you're driving around with your toyota's and nissan's from the dealership while looking at the showroom's lexus display. doxas are magical indeed.
great video...the best doxa video on yuotube, thanks
Thank you for your support
Hello thanks for the video. Found it to be very informative. Now I'm planning my move for Sub 300T Professional.
All the pleasure is mine sir. It is a watch I should have been paying attention to. Now I appreciate it more after diving into it. Thanks to your suggestion.
Did you get you a Doxa yet??
@@williamstalvey6920 yup got it around February.
@@stonker77 very cool...do you wear yours every day ....thinking about the Orange Dial or Carribean
@@williamstalvey6920 I wear mine in rotation as I do own quite a few watches. I'll say orange of course as that's my favourite watch colour 😆
Bought a SubT Caribbean in January when my Rolex Submariner Date was at repairs. Super cool watch. I’m a fan of diving watches.
Great Video. I hope to add a Doxa someday.
It’s rather expensive though. It is iconic and a must have for dive watch collectors.
Excellent video. Great explanations (particularly re the deco scale). Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, great video.
You're welcome!
Yes...
I have a dress watch DOXA for 10 years, and I really love this brand.
I've seen their dress watch offerings too. I may make video about them one day.
Nice documentary.
Looking at the 1500T. What are your thoughts?
Have the 1500 searambler. Love it You need at least 7 inch wrist tho. It’s a large watch .think of Seiko turtle
The dive tables were developed by the U.S. Navy, not Marines.
Same thing.
Very cool video, very instructive
Glad you liked it! more to come for sure.
Needs 50+ hour reserve and antimagnetic movement.. Plus, Seastern and Tactical Frog are made in same factory in China as most of Doxa's parts... and they cost $200. The ETA2824/SW200 movements cost around $250. That shows anything over $500 on a Doxa is a ripoff.
The SUB 300 is COSC certified Chronometer, and the SUB 300T (the first general public diver's watch equipped with a helium release valve) isn´'t.
Nice. Thanks for the clarification there. I’ll have to update these videos some day.
What would you lean towards if you had to choose between the new Sub 300 and the current Sub 300T? Is the domed crystal and COSC ETA worth the extra money do you think?
The extra money for me is worth it because my taste almost always favor vintage aesthetics. More often now a days that people tend to be divided towards the box or domed crystals because of the thicker perception and sometimes unwieldy proportions. It’s always a plus to have a COSC certification even if you don’t dive with your watches. It’s more accurate and adds credibility to a watch except for select brands say seiko.
It’s been a year since you asked the question. I have owned a big case sub6000t for 4 years, and in hind sight, wish the domed crystal sub 300 had been available when I bought mine. A friend of mine bought a 300. The crystal helps greatly with the visibility of the dial and the smaller case makes the watch much more comfortable.
The sub300 is closest to the original from 1967.
Thank you for the great intel ref Doxa
I love Doxa

I need to own a doxa too. Just a bit too pricey for me.
At 2:36 you show a T Graph caseback, not a 300T.
what do u think about sub 200??
would u recommend for daily watch?
I personally prefer the sub 300T. But the sub 200 is more than a capable daily wearer.
... эту фирму я ( слышал про нее), но как выглядит изделие ее не встречал , а тут бац и выкинули на экран - DOXA, смотрю и глаз радует, особенно эти рыжие красота, это французкая фирма? , класно !
Hmm....my SB 300T Searambler does have a helium escape valve.
There are models with out those HE valves.
Is the blue dial more rare than the orange?
i dont think so. may its just harder to come by on sale.
Where did you get that oak-ish strap on the Seiko?

You do need to shave off 1mm of the end link for it to fit.
The original 300T without HEV preceded the Conquistador lines. You didn't do enough research. There were other variants due to the company changing hands a few times.
ill do better next time. thanks for the input.
This video is literally loaded with inaccurate information. It’s obvious you have never owned this brand, and simply spent a few minutes on google to try to piece together enough info to make a RUclips video.
Yes I could put more time in researching. I can always do better.
You have totally miss-understood how to use the bezel.
You like noodles?
Wrong measurement lug to lug - 🤦🏻♂️
I hope you had “Random Rob’s” permission to use his footage in your video. @RandomRobReviews
yes i asked him
I would rather have no date,dial would look cleaner.
