Almost a 'cult' watch brand at this point, with a seriously iconic dive watch, Doxa was likely made most famous by adventure story author Clive Cussler regularly including Doxa timepieces in his books. The story has it that Cussler became familiar with Doxa watches while he was working in a dive shop and at the same time working on starting his writing career. He liked Doxa timepieces enough to make them a re-occurring character in his books.

New from Doxa is a variant on its classic dive watch, now with a power reserve indicator complication. The model will be the SUB4000T, and be more or less identified by the inclusion of the power reserve indicator on the dial. The watch is available in both "Professional" and "Sharkhunter" models. The difference is that Professional Doxa watches have an orange face and Sharkhunter ones have a black face.

In steel, the watch will be 47mm wide, have a sapphire crystal, and is of course a serious tool being a very performance oriented (though retro in style) dive watch. The newer Doxa SUB series bracelets are excellent I hear. Inside the watch is a top grade Swiss ETA 2897 automatic movement. The watch is available for pre-order now (which won't last long) for $1,890 plus shipping. A good deal compared to the regular price of $2,390 after the pre-order period is over. The pre-order page for the Doxa SUB4000T Professional is here, and the pre-order page for the Sharkhunter is here.
