Doxa Debuts the Sub 200T, a 39mm Version of Its Dive Watch Icon | Gear Patrol

Otherwise, the watch is visually almost indistinguishable from the larger Sub 300T. It’s available on the same beads of rice bracelet or matching rubber strap, it has the same dial layout (and same dial text, save for one digit) and it carries over Doxa’s signature patented dual-function bezel with its integrated no-decompression limit table.

There are some differences, however slight they may be. The shape of the case has been refined ever so slightly, with the lugs meeting the bracelet at a tighter tolerance than on the larger models. In typical Doxa fashion, the 200T is available in a range of fun colors, including favorites Professional (orange), Sharkhunter (black) and Aquamarine. There are eight colors available in total, but the color options for the 200T also bring something new to the table.

Choose Your Dial

Interestingly, most colors are available in what Doxa calls its “Iconic” style, which its regular matte dial finish, or a new “Sunray” style that gives a shimmering sunburst effect to the dials. I suspect most buyers will opt for the “Iconic” dial style — after all, if you’re buying a Doxa you’re probably doing so because you like its iconic status — while the “Sunray” option makes the watches a bit more contemporary.

Finally, out of the eight colors available, one is brand-new to Doxa: It’s a rich green shade that Doxa is calling Sea Emerald. It’s complemented by gold accents on the dial and is only available in the “Sunray” finish. The Sea Emerald watch is quite striking, and while it doesn’t scream “Doxa” to me, perhaps that will change with time. After all, it wasn’t that long ago when the now-standard Aquamarine was considered a departure for the brand.
