- Today we wanted to explore what's so special about the DOXA SUB 300β Caribbean, their 42.5 mm diameter case, now slimmer at 11.95 mm. Is this watch a contender to rival the more expensive Breitling SuperOcean or Omega SeaMaster?

I have a couple of the original Aqua Lung 300s from the 1960’s, and I recently purchased a new Doxa and am very impressed with the solid quality!
The Doxa case is always a classic and I think this one looks fantastic!! My biggest problem is w/the 38 hr power reserve in a watch costing over $2K! If this one was closer to a52-70 hr power reserve using say the Selitta SW300, it would be fantastic.
Have to agree 38hrs is crap nowadays, should be 60-72 then we are talking.
Very good looking watches. Well made and unmistakable. Had too have one in my collection. Not cheap, but when comparing to other brands it is good value. Plenty sales as well so you’re not paying full price. I went for the 300 army with bronze bezel green strap and bezel inlay. Love it.
If only they improved the lume.
Gorgeous blue dial in contraste with orange /white minute hand.
Absolutely amazing ❤
Hello and thanks for this video. Doxa is surrely an interesting brand, with its own design that you could identify at the first glance. And this model is really interesting,. 😊
Love a Doxa!
Gosh... It looks so much nicer in real.
It’s sounds like such a small detail but I go weak a the knees for a good beads of rice bracelet!
The 300 range is my favourite of the Doxa range
Very nice piece although the pricing is a little high I think.
If I'm buying a dive watch then it's the Sinn u50 tegemented bracelet version. That watch is 🔥
When this phoenix brand re-emerged I loved the look and quickly got hands on, but was underwhelmed considering the asking prices. The clasp and lume being particularly sub standard. I bought an Ali rip off which was so well done for the money my itch was scratched. This does appear to be a step up but I doubt I'd buy one now. They're way overpriced.
Good looking watch but overpriced.
How's the blue colour, does it still look blue in direct sunlight? or does it look black?
Not a Doxa fan. They take the “Swiss made” misnomer to the limit, and they produce nothing in house.
That is a good thing. In house is silly and a waste of money. But yeah, this is overpriced.
Dial appears to be a bit of a copy of Omega’s Seamaster
This new 300ß looks to be much better finished than the older serie, but my issue with Doxa lies in the fact that every time I tried any on my wrist, I could never find a way to justify the price asked.
In my opinion, all Doxa are 30 to 40% overpriced.
Seriously?? Name another historic brand making a professional grade dive watch that is 1200 m water resistant, has a HRV, and a bullet proof movement for under $2k. The Doxa 300T is hands down the best dive watch made for under $2k. I’m a diver and trust me, I’ve owned lots of them. Doxa is unbeatable at its price point..
@@whereRbearsTeeth Sinn UX GSG 9, 5000m, used by the German tactical divers unit, same price range, far better with an ETA caliber 955.652 thermocompensated movement. I'm afraid you're the owner of a chunky piece with nothing much special but everything very standard and very boring, and it lost 30% retail value at the second you purchased it; I feel sorry for you.
Can’t get past the poorly fitted BOR end links, ended up selling my 300 shark hunter for that exact reason, plus the lume is poor on the watch unfortunately.
It’s a very easy fix. You simply need to lightly sand down/polish the edges of the last 3 BOR that go into the endlinks. I did this on my 300T in about 10 minutes and now the bracelet articulates perfectly and wears much, much better on wrist.
Well, there's Cartier, Vacheron, Piaget and Panerai (higher-end) and brands like Mido, Rado, Zodiac, and Spinnaker (in the low to mid range) all featuring cushion shaped cases. But, I'm glad to know that this Doxa is old-fashioned or outdated.

🔥🔥🔥👍
Doxa is a very nice old fashion watch,the only detail is rhe price too expensive for me,with the thousand micro brand who compete in this range of price you have to be realy doxa fan for thinking in buy doxa before other brand...just my opinion
But the “term” beater means a rough n tuff watch that doesn’t matter if it’s damaged. But Beta? B Caribbean not that price.
Most embarrassing power reserve in the industry. Pre-historic. Absolutely ridiculous.
Kind of overpriced for what you get
don’t you think ?!!
An ETA 2824 in a watch is nothing special, and can be had for less than half the price of the Doxa. Besides, the case on the Doxa looks ridiculous in this day and age.
A watch is more than the sum of its components.
Nope. Too much money for too little brand. Doom shopping days are over.
Odd comment. One of the best value midrange watches today
