Why We Love it

For those of you who've been lurking around the site for a while, you know that we're pretty passionate about DOXA.  Generally, we herald the brand's groundbreaking work with the Sub 300 — the watch the changed the face of dive watches and SCUBA history forever — but every once in a while, we find an earlier piece worthy of the same laud.

The DOXA Grafic debuted in 1957 and featured a heavy Bauhaus inspiration on the classic square dress watch. Yes, we know it's not the funky orange-dialed diver that captured our hearts and the hearts of many, but let us explain why this piece is equally intriguing.

This piece features a 30mm gold plated, square case with a polished bezel, an acrylic crystal and a charming silver dial that has developed a champagne patina. Like all DOXA Grafic's, this piece features thin, printed lines emanating from the center of the dial; each demarcating its respective hour index. The dial is complemented by a matching, gold-tone 'stick' handset and the signature word-mark placement in the lower right corner of the dial.

Powered by a manual-winding movement, this piece comes outfitted on a brown leather strap with gold-tone matching pin buckle. While its diver siblings are the better option while donning a wetsuit, this DOXA will serve you better while wearing a regular suit, or our favorite way to wear a dress watch, with jeans and a t-shirt.

Looking for a two-watch solution with DOXA on the dial, you can't go wrong with any SUB 300 diver and this Grafic dress watch!

Brand Story

+
DOXA began Research and Development for the Sub 300 in 1964, under a team helmed by Urs Eschle, the brand's head of operations, who consulted professional divers including none other than the father of SCUBA himself, Jacques-Yves Cousteau.

Since wearability was crucial, Eschle designed a large case with wide rounded lugs. For the dial, the team tested many colors (orange, yellow, turquoise, and red) in the waters of Neuchatel Lake. An unprecedented amount of tritium was also used on the hands and hour indices.

The team implemented a unidirectional bezel with an innovative insert: the U.S. Navy No Decompression chart, with the outer depth scale in orange and the minute scale in black, to allow divers to gauge how much air was in left in their tanks. Rounding out the Sub 300's innovative design was a beads-of-rice bracelet that was the first to implement an ratcheting expandable clasp capable of fitting over a diver's wetsuit without having to remove links.
