Exploring the New Doxa Sub 300 Beta 'Frogger': A Military-Inspired Revamp

This summer, watch enthusiasts are treated to an alluring new Doxa release: the Sub 300 Beta ‘Frogger’. Created in partnership with Belmont Watches, this timepiece is a respectful nod to San Diego’s significant naval history, specifically the Navy Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) - affectionately known as the Frogmen, from which the original SEAL Team 1 was established.

The Doxa Sub 300 Beta ‘Frogger’ diverges from Doxa’s conventional aesthetic, featuring a fatigued kelp-green grained dial, a handset exemplifying the Doxa Army style, and a unique sandblasted stainless steel case and bracelet. It is slimmer than expected at 11.95mm, retaining similar proportions to the 300T model, and the bezel and crown are elegantly blacked-out while retaining key signature characteristics of the Sub 300 Beta series.

Adding a refined touch, the engraved caseback showcases a map of San Diego Bay with Coronado at its core. However, the overall design successfully evokes military inspiration without overt military markings. Limited to just 100 units, the ‘Frogger’ is available exclusively from Belmont Watches. Each purchase supports the Navy SEAL Foundation, making this distinct, attractive timepiece a worthwhile investment for watch lovers and military history enthusiasts.
