REVIEW: The Doxa SUB 300 Carbon Whitepearl & Its Luminous Dial
Jun 20, 2022
Monochrome Watches
------------------
Looking at Doxa’s past and current collection, if there were one watch to summarise the brand, that would be, without a doubt, the SUB 300. In short, an emblematic model, an important piece of the history of the dive watch and a timepiece that truly defined the brand over the years and still does today. Yet, Doxa couldn’t rely on a single model and had to evolve. Hence why, a couple of years ago, it released a surprisingly modern and technical take, the SUB 300 Carbon – which has since been on top of our list of preferred Doxa watches. Offered in a variety of colours, it now comes in a version that is far less striking – but only at first sight. A typical “Harvey Two-Face” watch that reveals its true nature at night. Let’s have a closer look at the new Doxa SUB 300 Carbon Whitepearl.
