A New Chapter for an Accessible DOXA Icon

The SUB 200 II evolves DOXA’s most accessible diver by refining the familiar SUB language rather than changing it outright. The key update is the fumé dial, a first for the permanent SUB line, offered in black, gray, blue, green and red with a gradient that darkens towards the edge for added depth and legibility.

A subtle moiré finish animates the dial as light shifts, while bold hands, painted indices and the outer minute track, all treated with Super-LumiNova®, retain the professional readability that has defined DOXA since the 1960s.

The Redcoral Statement in Black DLC

Within the range, the fully black DLC-coated SUB 200 II is the most assertive interpretation, with case, bezel and crown in black DLC framing the new Redcoral dial colour. The dense red reveals darker nuances with changing light and creates clear contrast between dial, hands and indices.

The chromatic treatment is linked to underwater coral reefs and brings a more expressive take on the SUB diver while remaining conceived as a tool for the water.

Refined Proportions, Authentic Tool-Watch Credentials

The SUB 200 II keeps the classic SUB silhouette but with a slimmer 316L stainless steel case at 12.80 mm, around a millimetre thinner than the SUB 200. The 44 mm diameter wears closer to 42 mm thanks to short, integrated lugs, allowing the watch to sit securely from dive boat to daily wear.

A solid 316L case, stainless steel screw-down caseback and screw-down crown provide 20 ATM (200 m / 656 ft) of water resistance, paired with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective glass box sapphire crystal that supports the vintage-inspired profile. The DOXA sailboat emblem on the caseback underlines the maritime lineage, while 20 mm lugs keep strap changes straightforward.

The unidirectional rotating bezel, a DOXA signature, uses an aluminum insert in either stainless steel or black DLC depending on the reference, with painted indices including Super-LumiNova® for timing in low light.

Milanese Mesh and Retro Rubber

Bracelet and strap options underline the SUB 200 II’s versatility. The finely woven stainless steel Milanese mesh bracelet, introduced to the permanent collection, draws on historic dive codes and follows the wrist with a supple mesh secured by an adjustable safety clasp.

A new textured rubber strap with a retro-diver aesthetic offers a more utilitarian expression, engineered for flexibility and comfort in daily and demanding conditions while pairing cleanly with the fumé dial.

Swiss Mechanics, Straightforward Functionality

The SUB 200 II focuses on essential functions: hours, minutes, seconds and a date at 3 o’clock driven by a Swiss automatic Sellita SW200 with approximately 38 hours of power reserve. It condenses the SUB 200 formula into a slimmer, more detailed package while preserving legibility, robustness and strong visual identity.

Why It Matters

For collectors in the GCC, the SUB 200 II delivers a Swiss automatic diver that is equally at home offshore and in the city, with a design language that acknowledges history without feeling nostalgic. The mix of fumé dials, the black DLC Redcoral option and versatile strap choices creates a refined, price-conscious alternative for those seeking a characterful daily sports watch suited to the region’s demanding conditions.
