Renowned for making some of the most iconic divers’ instruments since the 1960s, Doxa’s newest unveiling is testament to its enduring legacy in producing dive watches par excellence. The SUB 300, a foundational watch introduced in 1967, remains the crown jewel of the brand’s dive watch collection. After a series of successful reissues in the late 2010s, including several Aqua Lung, Poseidon, Silver Lung, and Black Lung editions, the SUB 300 was revived as a permanent offering in 2020. However, Doxa had another surprise up its sleeve.
The latest release is a special edition SUB 300 crafted entirely from grade 5 titanium. This iteration serves as a tribute to American adventure novelist and famed underwater explorer Clive Cussler, whose influence contributes significantly to Doxa’s success. Brilliantly embodying Cussler’s spirit of adventure, the new SUB 300 Ti5 Clive Cussler is a noteworthy addition to any collection.
In an era when boutique watch brands are relentlessly seeking to differentiate themselves, Kiwame Tokyo, under the experienced helm of Masami Watanabe, has swiftly emerged as a front-runner. Over three decades of work in the watch industry has culminated in a brand that seamlessly brings together ancient Japanese architectural and cultural nuances into a wearable art form.
The latest in their series of uniquely curated watch designs is the Kubo collection. Named after the Japanese character for a ‘hollow or recessed space’, the collection draws heavily from the aesthetics solar nuances, depth, and shadow often found in traditional Japanese architecture and landscaping. The real appeal of the Kubo collection lies not in elements that stand out but those that subtlety lurk, offering gentle, mesmerizing play of light and shadows.
