Anyone familiar with Clive Cussler novels knows of the adventures of his legendary hero, Dirk Pitt, who is never without his orange face DOXA dive watch.

This is largely because Cussler, who’s had the same DOXA SUB 600T since 1968, decided to model Pitts watch preference after his own.

In 2005, the Clive Cussler novel, “Sahara” was made into a movie starring Matthew McConaughey as Dirk Pitt, who of course, can be seen wearing his legendary orange face DOXA diving watch.

The DOXA SUB 750T Professional is an updated version of the original DOXA SUB 300T. It maintains the original iconic styling in a slightly larger case with a flat sapphire crystal. The orange face, already known for easy visibility underwater, is enhanced for night viewing with the addition of superluminova coating on the hands and markers.

• Limited Edition of 5000 pieces
• 25 jewel Swiss self-winding movement
• 42 hour power reserve
• Solid 316L stainless steel case
• Heavy duty stainless steel bracelet with DOXA SUB
• Anti-shock protection
• Classic orange dial & “dwarf” hour hand
• Superluminova coating on hands & markers
• Scratch resistant, anti-reflective, sapphire crystal
• Case measures 44.7 mm by 14 mm
• Screw-down crown
• Screw-in case back engraved with limited edition number
• Unidirectional rotating bezel engraved with the US Navy maximum no decompression limits in feet
• Water resistant to a depth of 750 meters / 2460 feet

DOXA was founded in 1889 by Georges Ducommun in one of the most inventive watch making areas – the canton of Neuchatel’s Jura Mountains in Switzerland. Ducommun later developed instrument panels for both automobiles and airplanes during the 1930s, and Bugatti, the famous race car maker, started equipping their cars with the DOXA “8-day” watch movement, helping to establish DOXA as a serious player.

When diving became popular in the 1960s, DOXA sought input from professionals like Jacques Cousteau and the US Navy to develop their SUB 300T which they released in 1967. The watch was a hit and sold out quickly, due in part to U.S. Divers, Cousteau’s company, buying large quantities and reselling them in the U.S.

After the introduction of quartz watches in the 70s, the Swiss watch making industry suffered some hard economic times and DOXA ceased operations around 1980.

But despite the availability of accurate, reliable watches not dependent on the precise mechanical movements made famous by the Swiss, it seems the quality of the latter is now in more demand than ever. 

In 2002 the DOXA brand was revived by the owners and since then DOXA has introduced new editions of its well known watches in limited quantities. All of them use Swiss movements and many are faithful to the original models in design and construction.

This “Happy Heart” watch sees Chopard continuing their stunning success in designing jewelry according to a theme. It makes a cute but sophisticated addition to watches in the “Happy Sport” series, which was first unveiled in 1993.

This luxurious ladies’ watch features an elegant mother-of-pearl dial with two floating hearts, one that’s set with 13 diamonds, and another with 13 rubies. The precision quartz movement lies within a polished stainless steel case which is set off perfectly by the pink crocodile leather strap.
