DOXA - Army in steel

DOXA is launching the DOXA Army in stainless steel, a non-limited edition available with steel/black or broze/green bezel. Prices start from CHF 1,950

DOXA is launching the DOXA Army in stainless steel, a non-limited edition that follows the 100-piece black ceramic ‘Watches of Switzerland Edition’ that was presented last April.

Based on design and specifications of the SUB 300 and SUB 300T models unveiled at Baselworld in 1967, the original DOXA Army was developed for the Swiss Army divers and was characterised by its matte black case, matte black insert diving bezel and sand-beige dial. 

The new DOXA Army in steel comes with two versions of the unidirectional rotating bezel: a steel bezel with a black ceramic insert and, for the first time, a bronze bezel with a hunter green ceramic insert.

Machined from a block of 316L stainless steel, the 42.50 mm case of the DOXA Army is topped with a sapphire crystal and resistant to a pressure of 30 ATM, equivalent to a depth of 300 meters or 984 feet. Total thickness is 11.95 mm.

The large orange hour and minute hands stand out clearly against the matte beige dial. All diving-related indications are enhanced with a Super-LumiNova luminescent coating that glows in green to ensure optimal readability underwater. 

Protected by a solid case back, the automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement beats at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with an autonomy of 38 hours power reserve.  

The watch comes with the choice of a stainless steel “beads of rice” bracelet with folding clasp and exclusive “DOXA fish” symbol or an FKM rubber strap in black or hunter green.

Ref. 785.10.031.10 (steel bezel with black ceramic insert / steel bracelet) CHF 1,990
