Ceramic case, bezel, and crown. An unprecedented two-tone combination of matte black and

The perfect fusion of a technical, robust, and reliable watch with a newly refined profile:
the versatile diver’s watch — equally at ease in a wetsuit, in the C-suite,
or on a night out on the town with friends.
The ‘β’ for ‘Beta’ factor – from DOXA:
a subtle bezel modification for greater finesse and elegance.
Only 11 pieces have been produced, available exclusively

Born from their partnership founded on shared values of horological heritage and excellence, they present today — on the occasion of Dubai Watch Week 2025 — a special edition of the SUB 300β that embodies their common commitment: to offer timepieces steeped in history that resonate with collectors and aesthetes, connoisseurs of Swiss watchmaking.

SUB 300DOXA’s iconic diver

In 1967, DOXA launched the then-revolutionary SUB concept, regarded as the first true professional diving watch made accessible to the general public. The groundbreaking innovations it introduced quickly made it the go-to tool watch even for uncompromising professionals.

 Back then, the SUB 300 was a 30 ATM (300 meters) water-resistant watch that, for the first time, incorporated a unidirectional bezel with a dual scale for dive time and depth. The US Navy's no-decompression dive table, allowing divers to monitor their time underwater relative to depth to ensure a safe return to the surface, had established itself as the definitive reference.

Inspired by the Navy’s model, the engineers at DOXA devised two distinct scales on the bezel — an orange outer ring indicating depth and a black inner ring indicating minutes — which enabled divers to calculate their dive times and thus ensure a safe ascent without decompression stops. It became a DOXA patent.

This watch quickly became a legend, easily recognizable for its bright orange dial: the bold – and practical color choice was also a first on a diver’s watch, contrasting with the traditional black, gray, or white dials of the era.

Starting in 1968, the SUB 300 was worn by the divers of the Calypso who took millions of viewers along on the legendary missions to explore The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau

Commander Jacques-Yves Cousteau, co-inventor of the modern scuba regulator and spiritual father of modern diving, so valued the SUB 300 that he negotiated exclusive distribution rights for the United States.

Capturing the spirit of the times: the SUB 300 Beta Ceramic

Following the SUB 300β Sharkhunter in black and gold, and the SUB 300β Seddiqi Limited Edition’ featuring a deep ocean-blue mother-of-pearl dial — both introduced in 2023 — here comes the SUB 300 Beta Ceramic ‘Dubai Watch Week 2025, with an unprecedented matte black and cherry red two-tone finish that is as stealthy as it is radiant.

The result is a masterful balance of proportions, materials, and colors connecting the watch to our times: a matte black ceramic case, a sunburst cherry red dial that plays with light, together forming a striking contrast with the hands and indexes generously filled with white Super-LumiNova®.

The bezel, with its indications engraved tone-on-tone in cherry red, subtly extends the dial’s color while enhancing the piece’s sporty character.

The DOXA SUB 300β is equipped with a supple black FKM rubber strap that matches the case, ensuring exceptional wearing comfort (it also comes with a timeless gray NATO strap included in its box). With all its cosmopolitan refinement, it remains a true dive watch with its deployant clasp and wetsuit extension, adorned with DOXA's hallmark ‘fish’ symbol.

The ‘β’ factor – for a slimmer, lighter, more elegant profile

‘β’ is for ‘Beta’: not just a remix of colors, materials, and textures. Always in tune with contemporary lifestyles, and mindful that dive watches must transition seamlessly from sea to city, DOXA has created a watch that perfectly combines toughness and urban sophistication.

Guided by the belief that a sports watch should be worn with ease in any situation, the SUB 300β Ceramic ‘Dubai Watch Week 2025 preserves its original DNA while cultivating style and elegance. DOXA has subtly refined the design to achieve a slimmer watch with a case profile of only 11.95 mm and a bezel height 0.5 mm lower than the SUB 300T.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

With a diameter of 42.5 mm, the SUB 300β ‘Dubai Watch Week 2025 combines a pressure-resistant inner container in titanium to protect the movement, DOXA’s patented – and celebrated – unidirectional rotating bezel with dual indication of dive time (minutes) and depth (feet) for no-decompression dives, a screw-down crown, and a 30 ATM water resistance (equivalent to 300 meters) for underwater exploration in complete freedom.

 Its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is treated with anti-reflective coating, and the COSC-certified Swiss automatic movement offers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.

DOXA – SUB 300 Beta Sharkhunter Black & Gold

DOXASUB 300β Sharkhunter Black Ceramic & Gold Automatic 2023

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO    

 Destined to defy dress codes, ready for any mission: The surprising and singular SUB 300β Sharkhunter

Black ceramic case, 18K 3N gold bezel and crown:
Tool watch engineering meets sleek urban flair


 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The perfect alchemy of a robust and reliable tool watch with urban elegance.
Real sport, real chic, equally at ease on a dive in the ocean or a night on the town.


 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The DOXA “β” factor: a stunning combination of colors, materials and textures for presence and a subtle bezel tweak for slimness. Another DOXA First.

Available in October 2023 at DOXA retailers
and on the official DOXA website

DOXA always begins with a bit of history...

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

In 1967, DOXA launched the revolutionary SUB concept, considered to be the first truly 'mainstream' professional diving watch. The radical innovations it introduced at the time quickly made it the benchmark for professionals, too. Water-resistant to 30 ATM (equivalent to 300 meters, just over 984 feet), it was the first to have a unidirectionally rotating bezel with dive time and depth indications for ascending back to the surface without decompression stops. 
 
 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Back then the US Navy’s no-decompression table was the diver’s standard, enabling divers to monitor their time underwater as a function of depth to ensure a safe, no-stop return to the surface. Based on the science developed by the US Navy, DOXA engineers incorporated two separate scales into the bezel, one orange for the outer "depth" ring and the other black for the inner "minutes" ring – a DOXA patent.

The DOXA SUB watch would become an easily recognizable legend: It was also the first diving watch ever to come with a bright orange dial, contrasting with the traditional black or white dials of the time.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

From 1968 onwards, a DOXA SUB could be seen on the wrists of the divers who jumped from the deck of the Calypso to take millions of TV viewers on the legendary missions deep into “The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau”. Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who co-invented the Aqua-Lung underwater breathing apparatus and was the spiritual father of modern scuba diving, liked the SUB concept so much that he negotiated the exclusive rights for distributing the watches in the US.

Capturing the Zeitgeist: SUB 300β Sharkhunter

After the iconic orange of the inaugural SUB 300, the bright colors that retrace the concept’s evolution, the camo version that echoes the brand´s Swiss Army connection, and the just recently launched vintage patina look of the SUB 300T Clive Cussler special edition, here comes the SUB 300β Sharkhunter – in stunning Black & Gold. Another DOXA First.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Today, more than 50 years after it was first launched, rich with a unique heritage, DOXA suits up in a color combination as intriguing as it is self-evident: The SUB 300β Sharkhunter’s two-tone color scheme with its interplay of dark and bright, of matte and glossy, of showy and stealthy, remains deeply connected with the DOXA codes that defined the icon.

 The ‘β’ factorthere’s a method to the madness

 β for ‘beta’, for beyond the conventional. Because it’s not just about re-combining colors, materials and textures. Always in touch with the contemporary lifestyle, and aware that diving watches need to adapt to city life, DOXA created a watch with a perfect blend of urban sophistication and contemporary elegance.
 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Starting from the premise that a sports watch should feel right under any circumstance, the SUB 300β Sharkhunter retains all of its original DNA while cultivating a sleeker, more stylish appeal. Here, DOXA ever so slightly reworked the design to achieve a slimmer watch, resulting in a profile of just 11.95mm (13.65mm for the SUB 300T) as well as a lower bezel height (by 0.5mm) compared to the SUB 300T.
 
  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The result is extravagance with a sense of proportion and a choice of materials that connect the watch to our time. A way of juxtaposing elements that seems to have been waiting beneath the surface all along: the black ceramic case, the matte grained dial with black-on-black markings…and the dazzling contrast with the mission-critical information provided by the hands and indexes, and the functional components of the bezel and crown in 18K 3N gold. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The DOXA SUB 300β Sharkhunter comes on a black FKM rubber strap for a particularly comfortable fit. Sporting DOXA markings on both sides, its black PVD folding clasp with ratcheting wetsuit extension features the embossed ‘DOXA Fish’ symbol. True to the DOXA spirit, a watch that defies conventions and pushes the boundaries. And yet…

The SUB 300β Sharkhunter true as ever to the SUB’s signature technical attributes.

 DOXA has always believed in gradually, carefully improving and expanding on its diving watches. This is especially true of the most emblematic of them all: the SUB 300T; it remains among the rare diving watches to have significantly marked Swiss watchmaking history. And the legend lives on...

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The 42.5mm-diameter SUB 300β Sharkhunter is equipped with a pressure-resistant titanium container to protect the movement, the patented DOXA unidirectional rotating bezel in 18K 3N gold with dual indication of dive time (in minutes) and depth (in feet) for no-stop dives, a screw-down crown also in 18K 3N gold, and a water-resistance rating of 30 ATM (equivalent to 300 meters) for exploring the seabed in total freedom.

Its scratch resistant sapphire crystal is treated with anti-reflective coating and the COSC-certified Swiss automatic movement provides a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.

The SUB 300β Sharkhunter is the indispensable tool for those who depend on a reliable, high-performance watch for underwater adventures, but also cultivate an elegant, contemporary sport-chic look.
