This Classic Retro Diving Watch Is Almost Unrecognizable After an Unexpected Makeover

Doxais one of the most famous makers of dive watches in the world, and the most distinguishing feature of its watches is their brightly colored dials.

The original Doxa Sub 300 from the 1960s debuted with a brightorange "Professional" dial, with the idea that it would be more visible underwater. Unfortunately, orange is one of the first colors to disappear as you descend underwater, but the color stuck around anyway, and has since been joined by the similarly bright "Divingstar" yellow and"Aquamarine" turquoiseas the most recognizable shades in Doxa’s core collection of divers.

But how would a Doxa dive watch look with a dull-colored dial and some added texture? As it turns out, it's pretty spectacular, as the new Doxa Sub 200 Dune proves.

Sands of time

The new Doxa is a collaboration between the Swiss watchmaker and the St. Maarten-based retailer Art of Time. The idea behind the Dune was to capture the feeling of being on a Caribbean beach with the sand-inspired dial, and I'd say they've done just that.

The dial has an interestingSand-grain texture— nothing I haven't seen before, but I tend to like the style. And whilebrown dialsCan be tricky to pull off, Doxa did a nice job here by making the dial gradient. It's light in the center and darker on the edges, which makes the dial more vibrant and active to better represent the "windswept dunes under a tropical sun" look that Art of Time was aiming for.

Another smart move on this collab can be found in the model chosen. Rather than going for Doxa’s flagship Sub 300 or 300T, they went with the simplerUnder 200Skin diver. With its stripped-down layout, black ceramic bezel and classic retro vibes, the watch proves a perfect fit for the sandy dial. I especially like how the bronze color of the lumed fauxtina markers of the bezel complements the warm sandy tones of the dial.

The caseback also receives a special makeover here, with a blue map showcasing a map of the Caribbean, where St. Maarten is located. Doxa's fish logo appears prominently in the center of the ocean, which has been colored blue with laser-induced oxidation that won't fade over time. The pairing of sand on the front of the watch and sea on the back was a deliberate choice to tie the diver to Art of Time's island home.

Pricing and availability

Like other Sub 200 divers, the watch features 200m of water resistance, a sapphire crystal box, a 42mm stainless steel case, and a Sellita SW200 automatic movement inside. Unlike other Sub 200 divers, it is limited to just 100 pieces, making this quite a rare watch.

Even rarer is the process one has to go through to purchase one. The watch is priced at $2,090, which includes a beads of rice bracelet and a black rubber strap, and it's available exclusively through Art of Time — but you can't purchase one on the store's website. Instead, you have to email Art of Time at info@artoftimejewelers.com to register your interest and, potentially, reserve a Doxa Sub 200 Dune for yourself.
