back to the surface. The other reason
why the SUB becomes an easily
recognizable legend in its own time is
the hallmark orange dial, which is at the
antipodes of conventional thinking that
insists on black or white backgrounds
for diving watches. Legendary
Jacques-Yves Cousteau, co-inventor
of the Aqua Lung underwater breathing
apparatus and originator of modern-day
scuba diving, likes DOXA's SUB concept
so much that he secures the sole
distributorship for his company,
US Divers.
In 1969, DOXA keeps refining the
concept with the SUB 300T
Conquistador, the first diving watch to
feature a helium release valve. That
same year DOXA becomes the official
watch brand of the Elite Diving Unit
of the Swiss Army. As years pass,
the SUB concept is continuously
perfected and a faithful following
among both professional and amateur
divers grows around the world. In 2014,
DOXA proudly supports Jacques-
Yves Cousteau's grandson, Fabien
Cousteau, on his historic Mission 31.
The 31-day challenge on board Aquarius,
the world's only undersea marine lab
located in the Florida Keys National
Marine Sanctuary, sets a new submersion
record for human oceanic exploration.
Today, DOXA remains faithful to the
principle established by Georges
Ducommun over a hundred and thirty
years ago: to produce high quality
watches at affordable prices. With
redesigned collections and an
emphasis on the legendary SUB diving
sports watches, DOXA's independent
status keeps the brand agile and able
to focus on creating watches that
combine high precision, technical
quality, reliability, functionality and
style. The "DOXA SUB" name stands
for some of the most iconic diver's
watches in watchmaking history. And
the legend lives on.
DOXA SUB.
THE LEGEND
LIVES ON.
THE ADVENTURE
CONTINUES.
