These two new colorways lean right into a contact of coral pink, which the model makes use of as an homage to a Seventies Doxa Girls’s Sub 200 design. Maybe the Gulfshore appeals to a barely bigger viewers, with a matte blue dial complemented by white and what Doxa calls “coraline orange” accents. The shade of blue right here is lighter than that of the Caribbean blue at the moment within the catalog and works very nicely with the accents of coraline orange, a trickster of a colour, showing pale orange in some lights and coral pink in others. The coraline orange is tastefully balanced on the dial, and utilizing it because the infill for the unidirectional bezel and the signature on the screw-down crown can also be a pleasant contact. As with many of the different 250T variants, the GMT hand is outsized within the type of a skeletonized hand that reaches to the internal 24-hour scale on the dial.

If you’re diving on the backside of the ocean, you’re most likely not serious about what time it’s midway throughout the globe – however, dive watches with GMT features are extraordinarily common, one thing Doxa has addressed with their newest launch, an ultra-legible GMT tackle their ever-popular SUB dive watch. There hasn’t been a GMT watch in Doxa’s catalogue for fairly some time now – nearly 20 years, in reality – and the final Doxa GMT, the SUB 750T from 2006, was a really completely different beast, measuring up at a hefty 45mm in diameter and that includes each a technically and visually advanced development, with a compressor-style inside GMT bezel and a busy dial. As compared, the brand new SUB 250T GMT is a way more refined and wearable prospect.

The case

Usually talking, GMT watch variants of common software watches go considered one of two routes: they both radically reinterpret the design to facilitate the complication, or they preserve issues easy, not doing an excessive amount of greater than including one other hour hand or a second time zone subdial. The Doxa SUB 250T GMT falls into the latter camp. It options Doxa’s signature stainless-steel tonneau-shaped case, imagined right here in a 40mm diameter, which is a Goldilocks dimension for a software watch: it’s not too large, however not too small. It’s additionally solely 10.85mm thick. That may be thought-about skinny for a time-only dive watch, so it’s spectacular that it stays that svelte, contemplating its GMT complication.

For context, this lands the SUB 250T GMT proper within the center between the SUB 200T, which is 39mm by 10.7mm and the SUB 300T, which is 42.5mm by 13.4mm. Humorous how that works. Additionally, you get no prizes for guessing its water resistance ranking, which is 250 metres – way more than most GMT watches, by the best way. Doxa followers may even be happy to know that Doxa hasn’t accomplished away with the SUB’s signature unidirectional metal dive bezel for this GMT watch, sustaining its core performance as a diver’s software.

The dial

At first look, the dial of the Doxa SUB 250T GMT is nearly indistinguishable from the usual SUB 200T or 300T. Nevertheless, a better look will reveal a two-tone 24-hour scale across the chapter ring, in addition to a big, skeletonised GMT hand that’s designed to minimally intervene with native time-telling and gained’t obscure the date window at 3 o’clock. It’s intelligent, refined and maintains the Doxa SUB’s utilitarian design language.

Doxa is understood for its eye-catching, vibrant dials, and Doxa followers will likely be happy to listen to that the SUB 250T GMT is available in all of the signature Doxa colors: Skilled Orange, which is the basic Doxa shade; Searambler silver; Sharkhunter Black; Caribbean, which is a Navy Blue; Divingstar Yellow; Aquamarine; Whitepearl, which is a pure white; and Sea Emerald, a inexperienced sunburst. Sea Emerald was solely added to the Doxa lineup final yr, and has rapidly confirmed to be one of many model’s hottest dial colors.

Nevertheless, the massive information with the SUB 250T GMT is that it additionally arrives with an extra classic Sharkhunter dial possibility, which represents Doxa’s first-ever gradient dial. A homage to Doxa’s earliest Sharkhunter fashions, it has a luscious, nearly tobacco-like sunburst fumé, complemented by aged lume. Talking of arms, this mannequin additionally encompasses a completely different GMT hand to the opposite fashions within the vary, which has a extra conventional pointer fashion with a pink, lume-filled tip.

In the case of lume, all fashions utilise Tremendous-LumiNova throughout their hour markers, arms and bezel pips, with two tiny dots of lume demarcating the hemispheres of the 24-hour scale. The hour markers are painted straight onto the dial slightly than being utilized or crammed plots, which is a extra retro look.

The straps

All 9 fashions include both a dial-colour-matched FKM rubber strap or a stainless-steel “beads of rice” bracelet, each of which function security clasps with a diver’s extension. Apparently, the bracelet attracts solely a US$40 worth premium over the rubber strap, so for my part at the least, choosing the bracelet is a no brainer.

The motion

This Doxa’s GMT complication comes courtesy of the Sellita SW330-2, which right here on this watch encompasses a 50-hour energy reserve and beats at 4 Hz. It encompasses a quick-set date and GMT hand, in addition to hacking seconds. This motion is simply 4.1mm thick, which helps contribute to the SUB 250T GMT’s thin-ness, as does the closed screw-down caseback.

The decision

While that is maybe not essentially the most groundbreaking Doxa launch of all time, I feel it ranks as probably the greatest SUBs but. Not solely is it a correct Doxa dive watch, able to strong underwater adventures, however its affordable proportions and helpful complication make it a flexible every day wearer. In some methods, its proportions slightly than its complication are what makes it so engaging – the addition of a useful GMT perform (and full disclosure, I’m a giant fan of GMT watches; it’s my favorite complication, so possibly I’m a bit biased right here) simply sweetens the deal. In any case, it’s nice to see one other complication be part of Doxa’s present vary.

With a worth that slots this 40mm travel-ready mannequin slightly below that of the usual Sub 300, it is definitely one thing of a bounce over the $1,550 asking worth of the Sub 200T. That mentioned, you get a brand new case (full specs under) and the caller GMT operate. Clearly, will probably be as much as you to determine if the GMT provides sufficient to warrant the practically $1000 bump over the 39mm 200T. 

The actual fact is, a Sub GMT represents a distinct segment providing from an already area of interest model, and also you do get many of the similar basic enchantment from the 200T. However, talking as somebody who has a proclivity for journey watches and owns each a 200T and a 300 fiftieth Anniversary (Divingstar and Searambler, respectively), I’ve to confess that I simply love the thought of a Doxa GMT and, properly, the Caribbean is asking. 

If you happen to contemplate your self a passionate diver, chances are high that you simply try to dive in several underwater habitats. In spite of everything, selection is the spice of life, isn’t it? So chances are you’ll end up touring everywhere in the globe, searching for diving hotspots. Sadly, the Doxa in your wrist doesn’t help in maintaining monitor of time in a number of locations as you zip by means of time zones. Nicely, till as we speak, that’s! Doxa now presents the Sub 250T GMT.

May this be the right journey companion for globetrotting divers? Let’s have a better look!

By common demand

That is a type of releases that immediately make sense. In truth, my first thought was, “Doesn’t Doxa make a GMT already?” Because it seems, no such mannequin existed within the model’s catalog — not lately, no less than. Doxa made the Sub 750T GMT again in 2006, however it hasn’t provided any since.

The press data tells us that there was a relatively loud name from retailers and purchasers for a brand new multi-timezone mannequin from Doxa. Now, I often don’t pay a lot consideration to such claims, as they usually really feel a bit farfetched and even fabricated. This time, nonetheless, I fully imagine it. The GMT complication is extraordinarily common throughout the board, particularly amongst journey watches. It doesn’t shock me one bit that Doxa followers longed for this.

Now, nearly 20 years after the earlier Doxa GMT, we’re lastly getting a brand new one — or, relatively, 18. In typical Doxa vogue, we get 9 colours and two bracelet/strap choices for every. I, for one, am glad to not be answerable for operations at this Swiss dive-watch model.

The brand new Doxa Sub 250T GMT

So, what is that this new Doxa Sub 250T GMT? In essence, this new mannequin appears just like the traditional Doxa Sub 300T diver. The case, nonetheless, shrinks from 42.5mm to 40mm throughout. From lug to lug, it measures 42.9mm, whereas the thickness is a candy 10.85mm. This can be a good bit smaller than the Sub 300T, which speaks to Doxa’s efforts to make this a extra everyday-friendly dive watch. Doxa additionally offers it an ample 250m depth ranking.

Inside ticks a Swiss mechanical automated caliber. Doxa doesn’t specify a make or mannequin, nor does it inform us whether or not it’s a flyer or a caller GMT. The offered specs don’t match any present providing exactly, however I believe this may be a Sellita SW330-1. Whereas Sellita specifies the facility reserve at 52 hours, Doxa claims “roughly 50 hours.” Shut sufficient for me! This caliber measures simply 4.1mm thick, which aligns with the slim total profile of the Doxa Sub 250T GMT. There aren’t at the moment any Swiss flyer-style GMT ébauche calibers on this section in the marketplace, so I’d wager that it is a caller GMT.

In fact, the Doxa Sub 250T GMT comes with all of the Doxa goodness, from the intricate unidirectional bezel and colourful dials to the beads-of-rice bracelet and characterful flaring tonneau case. This can be a Doxa by means of and thru, merely with a GMT operate thrown in.

Loads of selection within the Doxa Sub 250T GMT lineup

As talked about, Doxa is releasing a whopping 18 new references. That’s 9 colours instances two bracelet/strap choices. Many of the choices will look acquainted to these acquainted with the model. You get all of the traditional colours with their traditional names. There may be Skilled orange, Divingstar yellow, Sharkhunter black, and so forth.

A few of the more moderen colours additionally made their approach to the brand new mannequin. The favored Whitepearl and final yr’s Sea Emerald sunburst inexperienced are current. New for this yr is the Classic choice. This variant sports activities a black gradient sunburst dial with beige lume. That is the primary time Doxa has used a vignette dial on any of its watches, and it’s actually an on-trend selection.

Preliminary impressions

As I alluded to earlier, my preliminary thought was, “Are these new?” That’s an excellent factor as a result of it means these watches completely swimsuit the model — a lot in order that they don’t even really feel new. I feel Doxa took a intelligent method in making these slimmer and subtler than most of their siblings. Even if you’re a hardcore diver, your final journey companion should be considerably versatile. If you happen to choose a extra modest colour choice, this may even work as an on a regular basis sports activities watch.

I discover the GMT hand barely complicated. I like its skeletonized form and the way it doesn’t distract from the primary timezone. Nevertheless, because it shares its dimensions with the minute hand relatively than the hour hand, I discover it a bit nonintuitive when studying the second time zone. Doxa took this design from the unique Sub 750T GMT, so no less than it has historic priority.

In truth, I wrestle to specific robust opinions. I like Doxa dive watches, and these don’t deviate from the successful recipe. At €2,550 on rubber and €2,590 on metal, these Sub 250T GMT fashions are fairly interesting, and I’d absolutely contemplate one if I have been available in the market for a journey watch. My one gripe is with the classic dial, as my common readers will certainly already know. Can we please cease with all of the vignette dials, particularly on software watches? In any other case, kudos, Doxa! I’m certain these will do very nicely for you!

What do you consider the brand new Doxa Sub 250T GMT? Tell us within the feedback beneath!

Watch specs

Ever since Hodinkee Editor-in-Chief James Stacey posted a picture on social media of a Doxa Sub 200T Divingstar, I knew I needed to do a hands-on with one. Yellow is a coloration that retains drawing me again. The Divingstar had already been on my radar, however seeing it time and time once more wore down my very restricted resistance to making an attempt out a watch I’d need to really personal sooner or later.

Doxa is an attention-grabbing model. The corporate now makes a speciality of dive watches however traditionally produced many various kinds, together with costume and every day watches. For the reason that Jenny household took over the course of the model, it has centered on a core lineup. That included the entry-level Sub 200, the battle-tank-like Sub 300T (suppose Rolex Sea-Dweller), and the flagship watch, the Sub 300 (suppose Rolex Submariner).

Doxa dive watches

Certain, there are different fashions within the vary, together with a collection of dive-capable chronographs and the elusive Doxa Military. Nevertheless, the core DNA of the model sits inside these three mannequin traces. The Sub 200, by the best way, relies on Doxa’s authentic first-ever dive watch, the reference 11804.

Final yr, Doxa launched one other line to its core vary, the Sub 200T. It is a shrunken-down model of the 300T. The Sub 300T is a panzer of a watch that may deal with depths which might be the territory of the Omega Ploprof and Rolex Sea-Dweller. However with the 200T, gone are the helium escape valve, 1,2000m depth score, and 42.5mm case dimension. As an alternative, it’s a 39mm watch that also might go to a superbly succesful 200 meters down. Doxa’s Sub 200T can be a watch I’ve dealt with earlier than.

The Doxa Sub 200T is my favourite 

The Sub 200T addresses each design problem I had with the Sub 300T or the Sub 300. First, gone was the clumsy bracelet of the 300T which flares out in an unpleasant manner the place it meets the case. The truth is, there isn’t any correct articulation, so it provides to the lug-to-lug footprint of that watch. The 200T, nonetheless, retains the wonderful clasp and ratcheting dive extension system that the 300T has. Second, the crappy clasp of the Sub 300 is nowhere to be seen. Third, and in addition not current, is the head-scratching domed sapphire crystal on the Sub 300. That crystal has such an enormous quantity of pop, that you would be able to’t learn the watch underwater at sure angles. Lastly, we get a 39mm case that feels extra like a 37mm one on the wrist because of its cushion form.

In brief, then, brief one thing classic, the Doxa Sub 200T is my favourite rendition of Doxa’s “fugly” magic. The one fashionable exception to this might be the just lately launched Doxa Sub 300 Nice White restricted version. That lume dial is drop-dead attractive. However when the chance arose to select a coloration and take the Sub 200T for a longer-term evaluate, I knew exactly which one I’d be spending a number of weeks with.

Why I went for Divingstar yellow 

Which colorway did I select? Effectively, if it’s not already apparent from the images, I went for the Divingstar. Doxa’s core colorways have traditionally been silver (Searambler),  black (Sharkhunter), and orange (Skilled). That stated, yellow was current virtually on the very begin too, nevertheless it was simply uncommon. Subsequently, yellow is as Doxa as orange is.

It’s a scientific undeniable fact that yellow makes people happier. Yellow sparks one thing in our brains that we affiliate with happiness. Lengthy could that final as a result of, as I’ve been trying down on the Doxa Sub 200T Divingstar on my wrist these previous couple of weeks, I’ve smiled lots.

This 39mm dive watch is the Doxa for me

With the development to smaller watches in recent times, Doxa was lacking a mid-sized providing till the Sub 200T. That is one thing my colleague Thomas additionally famous. The rugged Sub 300T presents the traditional appears of the unique Conquistador however with technically upgraded capabilities and tolerances because of fashionable manufacturing.

Doxa’s Sub 300, in the meantime, presents one thing for us classic lovers. The Sub 300’s smaller dial footprint and thinner case create an interesting package deal for these within the authentic classic model that debuted in 1967. The Sub 300 performs a stable position because the model’s halo product and homes a COSC-certified motion. Nevertheless, as I famous on this article, there’s a precedent for smaller Doxa Subs. A number of of those existed within the model’s golden period of the Nineteen Seventies. Examples survive of what have been, in essence, Sub 300Ts shrunken all the way down to a 35mm dimension. These have been additionally known as the Sub 200. Doxa used to promote these as girls’s watches, they usually might be seen in previous Doxa commercials.

Dealing with the Doxa Sub 200T Divingstar underwater 

Of all the colours I’ve experimented with underwater, yellow must be one of the vital legible. Certainly, the Doxa Sub 200T Divingstar appears much more legible than the model’s well-known orange-dialed counterparts. I’ve taken each colorway within the assortment underwater save for the Aquamarine, and this must be the simplest to learn, even within the churned-up waters that Sydney has been going through recently.

The Doxa Sub 200T additionally has the benefit of a slim profile that hugs the wrist properly. It is a implausible issue while you’re contemplating taking a watch underwater as a result of it’s straightforward sufficient to scrape it on rocks while you’re mucking about.

There are different yellow choices on the market 

Do you need to partake within the pleasure, however Doxa isn’t for you? Fortunately, there are fairly a couple of watches with yellow dials on the market. One which involves thoughts is the Citizen Tsuyosa NJ0150-56Z, which offers a few of the magic of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual in yellow however is one thing nonetheless in manufacturing and never a number of thousand euros on the secondary market. That stated, that yellow-dial Rolex Oyster Perpetual is a watch I lust after.

Breitling’s Superocean Automated 42 is one other nice possibility for individuals who can spend round €5K. Or, if in case you have a a lot bigger price range, you would have a look at choosing up a secondhand Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver in yellow. Hublot has additionally created some attention-grabbing choices with its latest Yellow Magic fashions. Actually, there’s an possibility for each style and price range. I’d wish to see extra yellow-dial watches out in public, and some extra smiles could be a great factor!

Concluding ideas on the Doxa Sub 200T
