Doxa SUB 300T Professional Transitional 11899-4
Doxa SUB 300T Professional Transitional 11899-4
An absolute icon of the dive-watch world, the SUB 300 was made famous by Jacques Cousteau, who was famously so impressed by the watches that he became a distributor for them in the US. Endorsements don’t come much higher than that in the dive-watch world.
This particular 300T dates from circa-1967, and is known as a first-generation transitional model as it was produced immediately after the original ‘no-T’ variant of which only 300 pieces were made. This means that it has a thinner case, and is now highly prized amongst the vintage Doxa collecting community as it was the last Doxa Sub to be produced before they were purchased by Synchron and their logo began appearing on the dials, hence the Transitional moniker.
The case on this example is in excellent vintage condition. Lines are sharp, and does not show signs of over polishing. Has dings, dents and scratching in line with its age. Bezel action is smooth. All numbers visible on the case back. Crown is unsigned.
The classic Professional dial is in spectacular condition. All tritium plots in place with minor wear. Tritium is also present in the hands, and is thinning but intact. Dial shows some debris from hands/markers sitting on it.
Please see images for full condition details.
Service history is unknown. Winds smoothly, and is keeping time at around – 1 minute per day at 220 degrees of amplitude. It’s an ETA movement, so easily serviced.
Currently mounted on a black aftermarket silicone strap with steel tang buckle, and comes with a Watch Vault travel case and cleaning cloth.
A very well preserved example of one of the most iconic dive watches.
