DOXA presents the SUB 300 Ti5 Clive Cussler: the return of an icon
For those who love the sea, adventure, and watchmaking with a real story to tell, certain names instantly evoke the thrill of exploration. One of these is undoubtedly Clive Cussler. The famous American writer and maritime explorer, who passed away in 2020, inextricably linked his life—and that of his famous literary character, Dirk Pitt—to DOXA's iconic dive watches.
Today, to celebrate what would have been his 95th birthday, the historic Swiss watchmaker has decided to pay tribute to him in an extraordinary way by presenting the new DOXA SUB 300 Ti5 Clive Cussler. This special edition is strictly limited to just 300 numbered pieces worldwide.
Here is why this timepiece represents an indispensable collector's item for enthusiasts and the ultimate gift idea for those seeking something unique.
The Rebirth of Grade 5 Titanium
The original SUB 300, launched in 1967, was the pioneer of dive watches designed for the general public while meeting the requirements of professional divers. In this new celebratory version, DOXA chooses to reinterpret its origins by introducing grade 5 titanium (Ti5) for the case, caseback, and crown.
The result? A perfect blend of extreme robustness and unprecedented lightness on the wrist, accompanied by exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion. With its classic dimensions of 42.50 mm × 44.50 mm (and a thickness of 13.40 mm), the watch fits perfectly on any wrist, completed by a soft black Dive Flex rubber strap featuring a charming retro pattern that nods to the 1960s.
A 3D Dial Like Never Before
The true aesthetic revolution lies in the unprecedented architecture of the dial, structured for the very first time on two overlapping levels of grade 5 titanium.
Thanks to precise laser cutting on the upper level, light penetrates to create a beautiful visual play of relief and depth, without ever compromising legibility. In broad daylight as well as in the darkness of the deep, the indices coated with Super-LumiNova® glow to ensure perfect visibility.
Details That Make the Difference
Every single millimeter of this watch speaks of adventure:
- The iconic touch: The oversized minute hand stands out in the unmistakable DOXA orange.
- A tribute in the calendar: On the date window at 3 o'clock, the numbers 15, 7, and 31 (Clive Cussler's birthday) are highlighted in DOXA orange.
- Certified reliability: Waterproof up to 30 ATM (300 meters), it is equipped with a reliable Swiss automatic movement with COSC chronometer certification.
- Patented bezel: The unidirectional rotating bezel features the patented DOXA double scale to monitor non-decompression limits.
Furthermore, the titanium caseback is engraved with the symbol of NUMA, the non-profit agency founded by Cussler to search for and preserve historic shipwrecks, to which DOXA will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sales of this edition.
