A New Expression of the Iconic Dive Watch

DOXA has unveiled the latest evolution of its dive watch, the new SUB 200 II. Staying true to the brand’s unmistakable dive heritage, this release refines the familiar silhouette while introducing fresh design codes that bring a more contemporary, versatile character to the collection.

At its core, the SUB 200 II remains unmistakably DOXA—robust, highly legible, and purpose-built. But this latest iteration adds a new layer of sophistication that bridges professional dive functionality with modern urban elegance.

A First for the SUB Line: The Fumé Dial

For the first time in the SUB collection, DOXA introduces a fumé (gradient) dial across the range. This subtle yet impactful design detail creates a natural sense of depth, with tones that gradually darken toward the outer edge of the dial.

Available in a selection of colours including black, grey, blue, green, and red, the effect enhances the visual presence of each variation without compromising the clarity that defines the SUB family. A soft moiré texture interacts with light, giving the dial a sense of movement that feels both refined and organic.

The result is a watch face that feels more dynamic and contemporary, while still delivering the immediate readability expected from a professional dive instrument.

Introducing Redcoral: A Bold New Expression

Among the standout variations is a more expressive interpretation of the SUB 200 II, featuring a full black DLC-coated case paired with a striking new dial colour: Redcoral.

This deep, mineral-inspired red shifts subtly in different lighting conditions, sometimes subdued and shadowy, other times vivid and glowing. The contrast against the black case creates a strong visual identity, while carefully preserved legibility ensures it remains a true tool watch at heart.

Inspired by the shifting beauty of coral reefs beneath the surface, Redcoral introduces a more emotional and atmospheric dimension to the SUB 200 II, without losing its technical purpose.

Milanese Mesh and Modern Rubber: Two New Ways to Wear the SUB

The SUB 200 II also expands its versatility with two new strap options added to the permanent collection.

The first is a finely woven stainless steel Milanese mesh bracelet. Drawing on historical dive watch design language, it offers a fluid, textile-like drape with the strength and durability of steel. Its flexible construction ensures exceptional comfort, while the subtle shimmer of the weave enhances the dial’s gradient tones.

The second option is a newly developed textured rubber strap with a retro-diver aesthetic. Designed for everyday wear as much as underwater use, it balances softness, resilience, and visual character. Together, these two options reinforce the SUB 200 II’s ability to transition seamlessly between sport, sea, and city.

A Refined Case with True Dive DNA

While the SUB 200 II preserves the iconic case shape that defines the collection, it introduces a more refined profile. At just 12.80 mm thick, the watch wears slimmer on the wrist while maintaining the structural strength expected from a true dive instrument.

Despite its 44 mm diameter, the short lug-to-lug design ensures a compact wrist presence that feels closer to a smaller, more wearable format. This balance of proportions is central to the SUB experience—substantial in presence, yet comfortable in motion.

A unidirectional bezel with an aluminium insert reinforces its functional identity. Chosen for its durability, lightness, and resistance to corrosion, aluminium ensures clear readability and long-term reliability in demanding conditions.

On the caseback, DOXA’s sailboat emblem continues to symbolise the brand’s deep connection to exploration and the sea.

At the heart of the SUB 200 II is a Swiss automatic movement offering dependable performance and a power reserve designed for daily wear. Encased in robust 316L stainless steel and protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, the watch is engineered for resilience in both aquatic and urban environments.

Water-resistant to professional dive standards, the SUB 200 II continues DOXA’s tradition of building watches that are as functional as they are distinctive.

Diver Spirit, Urban Attitude

With the SUB 200 II, DOXA refines rather than reinvents, introducing subtle design evolution that expands the character of an already iconic watch. From the depth of its new fumé dials to the versatility of its straps and the boldness of the Redcoral execution, this release captures a dual identity: a tool watch with heritage, and a modern accessory with presence.

It is a reminder that great dive watches don’t just belong underwater, they belong everywhere life takes you.
