DOXA is launching the new SUB 300T Clive Cussler, an exclusive diver's watch that celebrates the strong connection between the renowned Swiss brand and the legendary novelist and maritime explorer, Clive Cussler.

Recognized as one of America's most acclaimed adventure novelists, Cussler wrote over 85 books and sold over 100 million copies. He also discovered numerous shipwrecks through NUMA (National Underwater and Marine Agency), a non-profit agency he founded in 1979.

Cussler's novels played a pivotal role in shining a spotlight on DOXA timepieces to a global audience with the iconic orange dial becoming closely associated with the fictional adventurer, Dirk Pitt, as it aided him in accurately keeping track of time during his adrenaline-fueled and deadline-driven missions.

A tribute to Clive Cussler, himself a DOXA watch wearer, the new SUB 300T Clive Cussler stays true to the collection’s core characteristics while boasting a distinctive allure.

With an original handmade dial evoking a vintage compass, and the use of an aged stainless steel appearance applied to the watch, bracelet, clasp, and pin buckle, the watch is intended to have a weathered look, perfect to be featured on the wrists of adventurers in one of Cussler’s novels, thus transcending its role as a mere timekeeping device to become a symbol of exploration and daring.

Each timepiece is engraved with its individual number on the side of the bezel, highlighting its uniqueness and authenticity.

The 42 mm x 14 mm case is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel for calculating and monitoring no-decompression dive times, a Helium release valve, and a screw-down crown that contributes to ensure water resistance up to a pressure of 120 ATM (1,200 meters / 4,000 feet).

Protected by a flat saphire crystal, the dial commemorates the author’s birthday (July 15th, 1931) by displaying the dates 7, 15, and 31 in red.

The solid case back is engraved with the names of shipwrecks and other historical artifacts that have been discovered or surveyed by NUMA up to 2022. Behind it, the highly reliable self-winding movement (base Sellita SW200-1) beats at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offers 38 hours of power reserve.

Delivered in a special presentation box with an additional NATO beige strap, the new DOXA SUB 300T Clive Cussler has a suggested retail price of CHF 2,590 / Euro 2,690 / US$ 2,690.

An additional black FKM rubber strap with an aged stainless steel coating folding clasp is also available for purchase at the price of CHF 470 / Euro 490 / US$ 490.

To honor the connection between Clive Cussler and DOXA and their mutual passion for adventure and maritime exploration, a percentage of sales from this special edition Clive Cussler watch will be donated to NUMA, the National Underwater and Marine Agency founded by Cussler. doxawatches.com
