The 42.5mm cushion case is oversized to allow for clear legibility in water and comfort over a wet suit. Its silver dial features the coveted full color 'Aqualung' logo which gives it its Blacklung moniker. Bright orange accents contrasting with the silver and steel elements works extremely well. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOffered in brand new condition with its complete kit, consider this an opportune time to add an excellent diving watch to your arsenal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eDOXA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eSince 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DOXA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31489408106583,"sku":null,"price":3300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/DOXA_SUB_300_SEARAMBLER_BLACKLUNG_REISSUE_AS03597_5.jpg?v=1581009937","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/doxa-sub-300-searambler-blacklung-reissue-as03597","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
