Doxa Sub 300T Sharkhunter

Partially verified

This Doxa Sub 300T Sharkhunter is an automatic diver's wristwatch featuring a 43mm cushion-style case and a unidirectional bezel with US Navy no-decompression dive timing markings. The dial is matte-black, detailed with printed hour indices, an oversized luminous minute hand, a 'dwarf' hour hand, and a date window at the 3 o'clock position. The timepiece is powered by an automatic Swiss-made Caliber 58 movement. It is secured to the wrist via a stainless steel 'beads-of-rice' bracelet that terminates in a Doxa-signed clasp. The watch is defined by its recessed crown and mineral crystal, which sits flush against the inner bezel edge. The dial displays patinated luminous material on the hands and indices.

Object description

Case and Dial

The watch is housed in a 43mm cushion case, a hallmark of the 300T model line. It incorporates a unidirectional rotating bezel that bears the US Navy’s no-decompression dive timing marks. A key design element of this specific case configuration is the recessed crown, intended to sit protected within the case profile. The crystal, constructed of mineral material, is fitted to sit flush against the inner edge of the bezel.

The matte-black dial is oriented for high legibility, a feature prioritized in the development of the Sub series. It is configured with printed hour indices and a date aperture located at the 3 o’clock position. Time is indicated by an oversized minute hand paired with a distinct 'dwarf' hour hand. The luminous material present on these elements exhibits signs of patina, while the dial text remains intact.

Evidence for this section
  • “Housed in a 43mm cushion case with a unidirectional bezel, a recessed crown, and a mineral crystal that sits flush against the inner bezel’s edge”
  • “matte-black dial with printed hour indices, an oversized minute hand, a 'dwarf' hour hand, and a date window at 3 o’clock”
  • “Beautifully patinated luminous material and well preserved printing”

Movement and Construction

The internal mechanism is an automatic, Swiss-made Caliber 58 movement. This movement serves as the operational core of the watch. The overall design of the Sub series, introduced in 1967, introduced specific technical innovations for the era, including the aforementioned unidirectional bezel and specialized dial legibility.

The watch is equipped with a stainless steel 'beads-of-rice' bracelet, which is original to the configuration and includes a clasp signed by Doxa. The provided package includes the watch along with its factory kit.

Evidence for this section
  • “Powered by an automatic Swiss-made Caliber 58 movement”
  • “paired to its correct stainless steel 'beads-of-rice' bracelet with a DOXA-signed clasp”
  • “This example comes complete with its factory kit!”

Provenance and Model History

The Doxa Sub series occupies a position in the history of diver's watch development. The initial generation of the model was introduced in 1967 and included various colorway options, such as the 'Professional' with an orange dial and the 'Sharkhunter' version featured here. The model line is associated with the early development of modern dive watch standards.

This particular object is presented as an example of that line, preserved with its complete factory kit for potential use.

Evidence for this section
  • “The first generation of the model, introduced in 1967, brought innovations we now take for granted”
  • “The DOXA 'Sharkhunter', though perhaps not as famous as its orange-dialed 'Professional' cousin, is among the most versatile of all the Sub colorways.”

Open research questions

  • What is the specific production date range for this serial-numbered example?
  • Are there any recorded variations for the Caliber 58 movement within the 300T series?
