We Hope You Enjoy Our Review of the DOXA SUB200 Aquamarine
DOXA has been a game-changer in diving watches since the late 1960s, with a history full of bold ideas and adventurous spirit. They’re known for creating the first diver’s watch that was both practical and affordable for everyday divers, making underwater exploration more accessible. That same innovative and adventurous vibe is alive in the SUB 200, showing just how deeply DOXA is connected to the world of diving.
The SUB 200 diver's watch, introduced at Baselworld 2019, is a perfect blend of classic style and modern performance. It captures the essence of DOXA’s rich history while pushing forward into the future, making it a true standout in their lineup.
Built with a focus on precision and style, the SUB 200's 42 mm case, made from top-quality 316L stainless steel, is all about durability and sophistication. It’s a perfect example of the toughness that DOXA watches are known for. The scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal adds a touch of old-school charm, bringing a bit of nostalgia from the past. But this watch isn’t just about looks—it’s tough enough to handle underwater adventures and everyday wear, blending tradition with modern-day strength.
The SUB 200 is all about combining comfort and style, offering a variety of bracelet options to fit any taste. The stainless steel bracelet, featuring the signature DOXA fish symbol, gives off a sleek, refined vibe. But it’s the soft, supple rubber straps that really steal the spotlight. These straps are known for being some of the most comfortable out there, molding perfectly to your wrist for a barely-there feel. Whether you’re diving deep or wearing the watch every day, these straps elevate the experience, promising unbeatable comfort wherever you go.
