DOXA Sub 200 T. Graph 130th ANNIV.

With Baselworld 2019 almost upon us here’s some early news from the inventors of orange who are celebrating their 130th anniversary, this year with a little gold – happy Birthday, Doxa!



To mark the occasion Doxa have created a very special Limited Edition SUB 200 T. Graph Chronograph made from 18kt Rose Gold!

The Limited Edition of 13 Pieces (unlucky for some) boasts a case made from solid 18kt Rose Gold but that’s not all that is special about this Doxa, it also has a special movement.



Housed inside its (43mm in diameter), 200 meter water-resistant 18kt RG case is a NOS (new old stock) Swiss made, hand-wound, Valjoux 7734 with 17 jewels and a beat-rate of 18,000 vph and a power-reserve of 45hrs.

DOXA have meticulously examined, overhauled and reconditioned each and every caliber before putting to bed in its new 18kt RG housing.



Its dial is in a semi-matte orange with black applied indices, and black baton hands, both with Light Old Radium colored SLN.

Special features include: Limited Edition serial number text on its dial between 4 and 5 o’clock and a solid 18kt RG case-back with an engraved sailboat motif.



Diver’s features include: a tough Sapphire crystal and a unidirectional rotational diver’s bezel with Doxa’s hallmark orange accented no-decompression and dive-time scales.

The SUB 200 T. Graph Chrono 130th Anniversary comes on either a 20mm orange rubber diver’s strap with an 18kt Rose Gold buckle or an 18kt RG BOD mesh bracelet.



Thoughts? While the use of 18kt RG might have people divided; I think it was important for Doxa to do something special and unexpected for their 130 year anniversary.

I like it but how ‘bout a poor man’s version, in bronze? What do you think?
