DOXA SUB 200 Whitepearl

 The new SUB 200 Whitepearl by DOXA is perfectly timed for Summer, a timepiece that is "refreshing" both for its trendy whitepearl tone and for its versatility.


After our introductory article (you can read it here), we are now able to share more pictures and details.

The Whitepearl is the seventh colour chosen by DOXA for its SUB 200 diving watch and joins the Orange repliki zegarków, Silver, Black, Blue, Yellow and Turquoise ones.

The watch comes in a 42 mm case crafted from 316L stainless steel, a steel that offers excellent resistance to corrosion. When you handle it, and even more when you wear it, you have the impression that the watch is smaller than 42 mm in diameter thanks to the short lugs and their original shape. The overall thickness, including the domed ‘glass box’ anti-reflective sapphire crystal, is 14 mm.

The unidirectional rotating bezel features a sapphire insert that is not only beautiful to see but also scratch-proof.

The three-hand plus date dial offers excellent readability, in any light conditions, thanks to large baton-type hour and minute hands and applied hour-markers generously treated with a white Super-LumiNova luminescent coating that glow in blue. 

The screw-down crown is decorated with the "DOXA fish" symbol in back and, together with the screw-in solid case back, it helps ensuring water resistance up to a pressure of 20 bar (approximately 200 metres / 650 feet). In position 0 the crown is tightly screwed down against the case. By unscrewing it, you can wind the watch in position 1 and set the time of the day in position 2.

The case back is beautifully engraved with the recurring "DOXA fish" symbol that remarks the special link of the brand with the sea world.

Inside, we find the Swiss automatic ETA 2824-2 mechanical calibre that guarantees precision and reliability beating at the frequency of  4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with an autonomy of 38 hours.


For our review we used the SUB 200 Whitepearl with a white strap made of FMK rubber (also known as fluoro rubber) which offers a wide range of excellent properties including resistance to chemical agents, temperature variations, and deformations. It is secured to the wrist by a tank buckle with the "DOXA fish" symbol and offers excellent wearability. The lug width is 19 mm.

Two rubber strap sizes are available - small (110, 65) and standard (125, 75) - for optimal wearability on both men's and women's wrists.


Of course, the model is also available with its signature “beads of rice" bracelet crafted from 316L stainless steel and equipped with a folding clasp zegarki repliki.


Offering excellent performances from a true specialist in diving watches, the DOXA SUB 200 Whitepearl combines an appealing look with a truly excellent price/quality ratio retailing at CHF 950 with rubber strap (ref. 799.15.011.23 with small strap or ref. 799.10.011.23 with standard one) or CHF 990 with steel bracelet (ref. 799.10.011.10).

The IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Edition “75th Anniversary”

 Sometimes, I talk too fast and too much, especially when I’m holding an incredible timepiece in my hands. My problem is that when confronted with something stimulating, the words in my head effervesce and brim over like Champagne emanating from a bottle held aloft by a victorious motorsports champion. I struggle to contain my enthusiasm for horological matters. When I am excited, the alacrity of my speech gains momentum, adopting a staccato style and becoming barely decipherable as it reaches a crescendo. The passion I have for fine watchmaking is manifest with energetic speech and animated non-verbal behavior. Indeed, I would make a hapless poker player, such is this open disclosure of my inner thoughts. Part of my problem is that my brain tends to over-process thoughts, working faster than the mechanics of speech will allow. Ironically, this is the exact opposite to the norm, where people typically use “filler” words such as “um,” “so,” “like,” and “well” to fill the silenc...
