Steel yourself for a fresh season of adventure with DOXA’s new SUB 200
As the seasons shift and summer approaches, DOXA brings a fresh vibe to its classic tool watch with the launch of the new SUB 200 featuring a polished steel bezel. It’s a subtle but striking twist—one that brightens the watch’s profile and adds an elegant edge to a timepiece already well known for its rugged charm and everyday versatility.
Since its reintroduction, the SUB 200 has cemented its place as a gateway into the world of DOXA. It’s the watch that often introduces people to the brand’s legacy, offering the perfect blend of heritage, value, and reliability. And now, in its newest form, it gains a sheen of sophistication that feels tailor-made for long days in the sun and warm evenings by the water.
Light, bright, and ready for summer
At the heart of this seasonal refresh is the new polished steel bezel insert, a first for the SUB 200 line. Swapping the familiar sapphire for polished stainless steel changes the tone of the watch entirely. It doesn’t lose any of the SUB’s tool-watch credibility, but it gains a visual brightness that brings the model closer to the worlds of style and contemporary design.
What’s truly special is the way the polished steel interacts with light. The surface isn’t just reflective, it’s expressive. It catches the sun, mirrors the world around it, and changes character depending on the angle and the moment. On the wrist, it feels sleek, modern, and dynamic. It’s DOXA’s dive watch reimagined for the terrace as much as the tides.
The case remains at 42mm in 316L stainless steel, paired with DOXA’s box-shaped sapphire crystal and 200 meters of water resistance. The mechanical Swiss movement inside beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a 38-hour power reserve. The overall package stays true to the values that define the SUB 200: it’s robust, legible, functional… oh, and fun!
Two bezels, two personalities
Rather than replacing the original, DOXA is expanding the SUB 200 family. The new polished bezel joins the existing sapphire version, giving collectors and first-time buyers alike a choice of finishes. One is more technical and subdued; the other, arguably, more expressive.
Ultimately, it’s not about changing the DNA of the SUB 200—it’s about offering new interpretations of a proven classic. For vintage enthusiasts, the sapphire version still speaks to that mid-century dive watch aesthetic. For those looking for something a little fresher, a little more refined, the polished steel option meets that aesthetic.
All eight colors, your way
The new SUB 200 with polished steel bezel launches in all eight signature DOXA colors, from the iconic Professional orange to the rich Caribbean navy, from the crisp Whitepearl to the lush Sea Emerald green. Every dial is available with either a matching FKM rubber strap or DOXA’s stainless steel “beads of rice” bracelet, while the Sea Emerald model can also be paired with a NATO strap for a sporty twist.
As ever, these bold dials are not just about visual punch—they’re about identity. Each color speaks to a different side of the DOXA wearer. Want your watch to pop poolside? Go for Divingstar yellow or Aquamarine. Looking for a low-key daily? Sharkhunter and Searambler are quietly confident. And if you want a watch that truly shines in every light, the new polished bezel adds that final layer of versatility.
Built for the water, styled for the weekend
What makes this latest update so compelling is how naturally it bridges the worlds of performance and polish. Make no mistake: this is a true dive watch. With its screw-down crown, unidirectional bezel, and DOXA’s signature legibility, it now looks just as appropriate with a linen shirt and a spritz as it does with a wetsuit.
It’s a reminder that modern tool watches aren’t just about utility anymore. They’re about storytelling, travel, lifestyle, and identity. And the new SUB 200 captures that idea perfectly: it’s easy-going, good-looking, and ready for anything—exactly what summer should feel like.
