I hardly ever comment on videos, but I had to for this one! This is one of the best watch review vids out there! Beautifully shot and edited. Been waiting for a decent Doxa aquamarine review vid for ages and this may have convinced me to for for it! Great job and u got a new subscriber! 👍
ahah, I appreciate your words! this is an amazing piece! and deserved something special :)
You have never made a bad video. Excellent history, you've become one of my favorite horology channels.
AHHAHA thanks :D good one!
I agree! Superb channel & a subtle sense of humor.
Just purchased the same watch/color for my wife and me an Orange Pro for our anniversary. Love Doxa.
UU, congrats!
I absolutely love this Doxa and I was waiting for someone to review it. Looking forward to buying this exact color at some point this year 💙 Great video!
The 300T Professional is my top want watch due to the Clive Cussler character of Dirk Pitt.
Subscribed! Just got the orange 300T. Love it, thankyou. 😊
Ah… We share the same tastes in Doxa watches: the Sub 200 Sharkhunter and the Sub 300T Aquamarine. The Sub 200 Sharkhunter is definitely on my short list. When it came time to purchase my first Sub 300T however, I went with the orange Professional because that was the choice of old school divers and, of course, Dirk Pitt! But why must I force myself to choose between the Professional and the Aquamarine, when I can eventually have both…? 🤔😉
haha, cant go wrong either way, it is true indeed, the iconic sub300 must be orange.
Aquamarine (Aguamarina) es también un sinonimo del color Calipso, y Calypso era el barco de Cousteau 👌🏽
You are right, yes!
Good video, love the Doxa range, however 38 hour power reserve and no antimagnetic movements, Certina and Tissot can do them why not Doxa ?
Love the case the history but that dial comes straight from a 200 dollar watch. All flat non raised markers no detail heck even some spaces between the markers are misaligned.
I think this color variant is the best...GORGEOUS!!#
Thanks for reviewing the Doxa, I have the Carribean and love it, so I enjoyed your review a lot. The Doxa is so legible despite a small dial with a lot going on on it, its incredible. Its such a fun and friendly watch yet it packs the punch of a Sea Dweller. Congrats on your color choice, that turquoise really pops on the matching Isofrane. I like to wear mine with an Erika’s Originals, takes the heft off and super comfy.
A lottery win watch.. I’m looking to mod a Vostok to make a Doxtok.. I’d feel much better wearing that around as I’m so clumsy 🤣
Absolutely love this watch! A true icon! And incredible video! It comes alive on the beach. Well done Andrei! Well worth the wait :D
Well said, a true icon :) thanks Peter! I wanted something different for this piece.
@@BraveBeaters you did an amazing job, you should be proud! 🙌
Love this one 😍😍😍
Oh wow.... That dial colour is absolutely gorgeous. I would love to get one.... I could tell the wife it was only a cheap one 😍
Can work :D you can tell Her it's a 300$ micro brand.
Excellent review! One detail to add is that the newer 300T now comes with a helium escape valve. The only other change is that the clasp now has simpler and sharper lines...personally I preferred the clasp on yours.
Another great video Andrei ❤️ loved the B-Roll! That vacation spot looks beautiful!
Thank you M, I appreciate :) Honestly, it makes me want to get back there. now I need to count the days until September :D
Had to watch it again lol I love this dial color. Now I'm searching for one lol 😍😍
a timeless design, iconic and good looking :D
Just subscribed - great review and an amazing looking watch. Thank you!
Welcome aboard :) Thanks!
Is this Greece 🇬🇷?? If so, I remember the Greek got a God for time. KRONOS (Cronus) was the King of the Titanes and the god of time, in particular when time was viewed as a destructive, all-devouring force. I think time and watches are so beautiful, why hate time Greece WHY 😿😿😿??? 😄⏳⏳⏳
Haha, yup they have Chronos, but apparently had more impact in Italy, they hahve built a culture for watches, see Mancini with RM :D
Thank you for a very insightful review.
Beautiful video, worth the sunburn 😉 Really stunning watch, love the colour, love that case shape. Definitely a worthy Brave Beater.
Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
Great piece Indeed, needed something different, an outdoor review. thank you :)
Have you seen the prices that they ask for the rubber strap or bracelet if you want to buy a 'spare' to change the look of the watch.?
You could buy a Seiko 🐢 for the price !!
expensive, the rubber is the price of the bracelet. but the quality is amazing! :)
I love everything from this brand so I enjoyed this review. What makes you say the black is iconic for the sub 200 specifically? To me it looks a bit like the Fifty Fathoms which is obviously a much more expensive watch.
Beautifully shot video!
I got the sub 300 t searambler two weeks ago and it’s an amazing watch and I’ve been obsessed with doxa for ages. It’s the most I have spent on a watch but I’m glad I did. Thinking of selling my others and making this my one and only, that’s how much I love it hahaha
Not a bad choice man. It's tough enough to survive almost anything and yet cook enough to wear with semi formal attire like a shirt and pants while not looking out of place.
@@antonhallergren588 Cheers, my thoughts exactly!
@@antonhallergren588 A Doxa with semi formal attire?? Lol I don’t think so. It’s about as toolish as a tool watch can get.
I own it in Divingstar color scheme. Great watch, very legible and comfortable. The only letdown is a weak lume. Otherwise a great watch.
Oh - but there s a problem!
Edlinks not going around wrist!
Czeck your movie 7:20 compared to Sub 200 bracelet.
Love the watch and great choice of colour! Excellent idea to get outside footage. Overall a quality well produced video!! 🎥⌚️🎞👌🙌
Much appreciated!
No mention of the 300t bracelet sitting up on the wrist between case and bracelet. No mention of movement being none cosc certified. No mention of the case height being taller than the 300. These are details needed on any 300t review.
Lovely watch, great review. It’s a shame that I dive with a computer these days as opposed to using a watch. Tempted by the Sub 200
True, but it's always good to have a mechanical backup :D
Excellent Review, looking forward to get one. Doxa mentioned that they currently updating the official resellers list. 50 years ago my father was a diver and had one Doxa as a tool. I am still impressed. 🦍👍🏻
Really cool, would be a great addition to the family :)
I love the Doxa 300t.
It takes no significant design cues, from the Rolex Sub.
Extra case real estate outside the dial always bugs me. This is why I hate seiko turtles sumos and willards. Get a mudmaster instead if you hate how your wrists look.
The review was too good, I had to order it!😅 where is this beach looks nice!
Ahahah! Congrats! Hits in greece, lefkada.
@@BraveBeaters as soon as I get the watch I have to go there 😂🌅
Excellent interview. I own a Sub6000T professional (no longer in production) . I met Jacques Cousteau’s son, Jean -Michel Cousteau , a couple years ago and he wears a well worn Doxa to this day.
I have used mine when I dive in addition to a dive computer. My complaint is , on the big case 6000 series, the Iso Fran rubber strap is way to stiff and doesn’t fit right. With just the screw bars in, you can’t even get a nato strap to fit. And with the bracelet fitted to my wrist for every day wear, the extension is not sufficient to fit over a 5 mil wet suit. I can add a link to fit over a wet suit, but then it will be too loose for every day wear.
Also, too anyone who is curious, a helium escape valve is only useful to a saturation diver during decompression in a pressure chamber. World wide, there are only a few thousand certified SAT divers, and far fewer who even work in that field. So a HRV is useless to the vast majority of people who actually get in the water.
And that’s something you now know!👌
Thanks for “explaining” to us what a helium escape valve is 🙄. Pretty sure anyone who is the slightest bit into dive watches already knows this.
@@whereRbearsTeeth
Then why does it seem that every watch reviewer on the planet, not have a clue?!
I just found your Channel and as a proud owner of the Doxa 1200 T Professional I congratulate you to a very nice review of an iconic Watch!!!! Well done. The only thing that I don't like about Doxa are their prices for their rubber straps. Way to expensive!!

Thank you and welcome aboard :)
I actually experienced once a sub300 on a rubber and I was really impressed by the quality! it's a shame because you need to cut it to fit it but i can understand why they are the same price as Bor. they also have the same clasp with the quick adjustment
My dream watch is the Yellow Posseidon Colab 300T. In case of not finding one in good conditions and fair price, I will pick this blue one. It´s stunning.
that's a killer watch!
That aquamarine color is gorgeous!
Stunning watch.,…. Congrats ….cheers
Thanks Raul!
Maybe I copped out, but I purchased the Seestern version with the Seiko NH35 movement. I think if Doxa would have brought the price of their 300t more in line with the 200t, I would have gone for it. Also, I own some Christopher Wards with the SW-200 movements for about half the price each. While they are solid Swiss movements, they’re nothing spectacular. I hope I did get too many negative remarks, but I find my Seestern to be top notch in quality & looks.
Got to say I absolutely love this watch , it’s iconic , looks so cool and the colour fantastic ..
A truly excellent review! Beautifully filmed, eloquent and right to the point. I’ve never really considered Doxa as a brand, (the reason escapes me) but damn it, I’ll have to go out and get one for my collection! And wear it too.
Hahah,Paul, It is after all one of the most important divers, alongide Seamaster, Submatiner, Fifty Farhoms. :)
Just discovered your channel, Sir. Your production is among the best I've ever seen on RUclips. Congratulations.
Thank you very much! Welcome aboard :)
Love this blue caribbean dial color !!! Great review as usual ..Efaristo !!
Thank you :)
The watch in this video isn’t the blue Caribbean…
@@whereRbearsTeeth what color is ?
@@yaaxarr8977 aquamarine
The dial is hot, my no.1 pick right now, Rolex and Omega included.
Thanks for mention the Seamaster by the way, I own a very rare Seamaster 1000, no service parts, with a perfect near mint prototype dial from Beyeler - no bubbles at all.
First vacation video, right? :) that’s passion/commitment! I like blue lume too! Too bad no seikos have it …. Quite misleading the nomenclature of the Doxas…why would you name a watch with a number different from the depth rating? :) great review as always! (This being 26th, would be interesting to see the entire lineup mentioned somewhere :)
Thanks Radu! Appreciate your support and feedback, as always :D
First vacation and a tryout, it's not why to shoot outdoors but this time, went pretty well :) I think the chassis, the 300T platform is thicker aand can serve as a 2 - 3000 meters, dept rating watch, anyway, Doxa is known for doing strange things :D
@@BraveBeaters most PADI variant SEIKO have predominantly blue lume..just ordered my Aquamarine 300t though
Excellent review, I love the Doxa watches, especially the Sub300T for the great Jeacques Cousteau. Greetings Leonardo from Chile 🇨🇱
Great watch and awesome video... Congrats!
Thank you very much :)
First
A very iconic Watch that Is beautiful with every Dial variation..considering buying It in these days, I would choose the Orange. Regards mate
Nice video, pleasing to watch :)
Regarding the watch, I still don't get the way they made the first beads, attached to the solid end-link in a non-flexible way, making the lug to lug longer than it actually is.
had no chance to experience one. but they had some sort of springs on the sides as far as i seen. still no idea how the rices were expanding
@@BraveBeaters On the previous models, the beads of rice fixed on the lugs had a round profile and thus, they were allowed to turn freely on the springbar. I don't know why they changed that.
I bought this watch from the AD last week. It looks great but I feel it’s a watch that has real deficiencies.. it’s a very top heavy piece . The clasp has very sharp edges which is uncomfortable and mine is running around 25 secs slow . I don’t think this is really acceptable for a watch that costs nearly 1900 pounds .perhaps if I get it regulated and stick it on a rubber strap I may grow ro like it . I think I will bag an isofrane
Just a small update for you. I bought a Sub 300T today and it DOES now have a Helium escape valve.
How accurate is this watch ?
Have no clue.
Just like their customer serivce, Doxa's lume is lacking.
Agree :)
First thank you for making this video. I’ve been looking at this watch for awhile and love almost everything about it but am concerned it will be too large for my 6.25” wrist as I’ve heard other reviews say on the bracelet makes the lug to lug slightly deceptive because of the end links design.
Glad I could help! :)
I have a 6,5” inch wrist and wear a sub 300t searambler and it fits perfect for me. even though the bracelet adds to the lug to lug, it’s never been a problem :)
Great video. I also have one of these on my list for this year. How does it wear? It looks pretty chunky (heavy). Wish I could try one one before I buy one. Struggling to find anywhere that has them in stock in London.
Hi, well it is a bit heavy on the bracelet, the bracelet links are solid also the clasp, it gives you that safe feeling.
Wear it on an Erika Originals strap it becomes really the perfect sports watch, you lose the weight and it hugs the wrist. Have a look on Instagram, a lot of Doxa fans wear their watches on these straps. In fact Erika's husband is a vintage Doxa collector, and thats how she got into making these straps, for her husband, then his buddies started asking and now she has a successful business.
Really excellent review. Your content always has great energy! All the best to you👍❤️
Thank you very much, Mark:)
Amazing footage and camera work! One of my favorite watches. Great video!
Thank you very much :)
Awesome Diver. Greece is beautiful
It really is! :)
Great review!! Subscribed 😎👍💯
Was looking to buy one of these for my brother who dives a lot. Your video was very useful. Thank you.
And don’t forget Squale ;)
Another 👍 watch.
On the list :D
I own the professional version non hev, fantastic watch, clasp is superb
The finish on the dial and hands is
Incredible and it runs at +3 seconds
A day.
Couldn't agree more! Congrats!
Great watch, but the clasp is definitely cheaply done compared to the rest of the watch.
muito lindo gostei muito do relógio parabéns pela escolha. vc pode informar o valor. obrigado.
Beautiful video and informative review. Very well done Sir.
thank you Edward :)
I’ve been thinking about getting this watch for over a year. I love the aquamarine. I really need to get one. Most watch fascinations I have disappear in a few weeks but this one remains. The fact that they ate stilling making the same watch as back when they started makes me really want one. Such a classic look that has withstood the test of time. That’s really rare with watches.
fully agree with you, an iconic, timeless design :)
I've had mine for a year now, and it's still a total joy to look at. It has a lovable quality, I'll never sell it. I have the Caribbean, which is actually very Ionian in its colours. And 1200 meters waterproof, it is essentially a Sea Dweller for under two thousand dollars, with the same pedigree but without the waitlist.
The same guy who brought the Doxa back to life, is now resurrecting another timeless iconic design, the Aquastar. Check it out too.
Your channel is 🔥 thank you for the outstanding content.
Thank you very much :) I appreciate your words!
Beautiful review my friend... You are an artist
haha, thank you, Matti!
Great watch. Perfect review.
I prefer the previous bracelet clasp over this latest version. Love Doxa and your videos are always outstanding! 👍
This or the orange one... I can't choose!
tough choice.
Very cool review
Good job 👏
Great review, as always!
Thank you very much! :)
Beautiful! Where was this filmed?
greece :)
@@BraveBeaters Santorini by any chance? :-) Waters are so clear...
Outstanding production and video
Algo
What’s the blue strap?
Its a homage of a isofrane strap. called obrismorgan strap.
@@BraveBeaters thanks 🙏🏼
Superb yet again my friend. Such a beautiful and well shot video! The thinner 300 aqua will definitely be my next piece.
Thank you very much! :) I appreciate it!
1-it’s over priced, 2-the seastern do a homage to this watch that is actually better, 3-read 1 and 2 again.
