You’d think that Doxa has covered most of the spectrum with their colour options — everything from bold oranges and yellows to toned-down silvers and blacks. For Watches and Wonders 2022, however, the Swiss manufacturer introduces a brand new colour to their lineup — the Doxa Whitepearl collection. Presenting as highly contrasting references with optional colour-matched rubber straps, the Whitepearl colourway is meant to broaden the appeal of Doxa’s designs across all genders, after seeing success with the SUB 200 Whitepearl. Check out the link below for a video overview of this new release, and read on for a brief summary of what’s on offer.

SUB 300 Carbon Whitepearl

 

The SUB 300 Carbon just got cooler, due to its Whitepearl colourway. I’m talking, of course, about the full-lume dial that comes with the fresh lick of paint. It retains its other dimensions and specifications, with a 42.5mm diameter case and 13.4mm thickness. The titanium caseback further helps in keeping the weight down to just 87 grams. It’s powered by a COSC-certified grade of the Sellita SW 200-1, with 38 hours of power reserve. The SUB 300 Carbon is available from the Time+Tide shop here.

SUB 300 and 300T Whitepearl

doxa whitepearl

 

The SUB 300 and 300T are certainly among the better-known Doxa designs. The lugs that seamlessly integrate into the cushion case, depth-scale bezel and squared-off dial features all make up the new Whitepearl versions, with the obvious change in the dial colour. As before, the SUB 300 is COSC-certified and water resistant to 300 metres, whereas the 300T loses the chronometer certification, but gains an extra 900 metres in water resistance. Offered on either a beads-of-rice bracelet or rubber FKM strap, you’re spoiled for choice. The SUB 300 and SUB 300T are available from the Time+Tide shop.

SUB 600T Whitepearl

The SUB 600T is a favourite at the Time+Tide office, for purely non-biased reasons, of course. While we may be partial to a particular hue of blue, the Whitepearl simplifies the dial even further. The 600T has always had a more familiar dive watch dial, rather than the many hashes and squares found on other Doxas. The quirky case is unchanged, however, with the ever-compact 40mm by 47.6mm dimensions. The 600T Whitepearl is offered with two choices for both bezel (steel or ceramic) and strap (steel bracelet or FKM rubber) — all available from the Time+Tide shop.

SUB 1500T Whitepearl

The SUB 1500T is, in the nicest way possible, a Doxa on steroids/crack — you pick your poison. It’s more all-round for the 1500T when compared to its SUB 300/SUB 300T cousins. 45mm in diameter, 16.25mm thick and resistant to 1500 metres, it also receives a movement upgrade, now powered by a Sellita SW 300. The beads-of-rice bracelet now more closely resembles small bricks to match the brawniness of the 1500T, which is also available with an FKM rubber strap. Check them out in the Time+Tide shop.
