DOXA Updates Its Entry-Level Diver With The SUB 200 II
Swiss dive watch specialist DOXA introduces the new SUB 200 II collection for 2026, evolving its accessible diver lineup with updated proportions, refreshed aesthetics, and new material options. Building on the foundation of the SUB 200 launched in 2019, this latest generation retains the collection’s vintage-inspired character while introducing notable technical and visual changes.
A Larger Case with Refined Proportions
One of the most noticeable updates comes in the form of a larger case. The SUB 200 II now measures 44 mm in diameter, up from the previous 42 mm, giving it a stronger presence on the wrist. Despite this increase, the watch maintains balanced proportions thanks to a restrained lug-to-lug distance of 48 mm and a slightly slimmer profile of 12.80 mm in thickness.
The overall construction remains faithful to the collection’s established design language. The stainless steel case is fitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel and topped with a box-shaped sapphire crystal, reinforcing its vintage appeal. The curved, lyre-style lugs contribute to comfort on the wrist, while the solid screw-down caseback ensures durability. With a water resistance of 200 meters, the SUB 200 II is well-equipped for both underwater use and daily wear.
Introduction of Fumé Dials Across the Range
A defining feature of this new generation is the introduction of fumé dials throughout the collection. Available in black, grey, blue, and green, these dials transition from a lighter tone at the center to a darker shade toward the edges, adding visual depth and a more refined character.
The dials are complemented by applied hour markers with dark outlines that enhance legibility. The hands and indices are filled with beige Super-LumiNova, matched by a similarly toned minute track and the frame of the date window positioned at 3 o’clock. Together, these elements create a cohesive and slightly vintage-inspired aesthetic, further emphasized by the circular brushed aluminium bezel inserts that align with each dial color.
First Permanent Black DLC Version
Alongside the stainless steel models, DOXA expands the collection with a black DLC-coated version that becomes part of the permanent lineup. This variant introduces a more contemporary and striking design, pairing the dark case with a vivid red dial.
In contrast to the standard models, this version features white Super-LumiNova on the hands and hour markers, as well as a white scale on the black bezel insert. The result is a high-contrast, modern interpretation of the SUB 200 design, offering a distinct alternative within the collection.
Proven Swiss Automatic Movement
Powering the SUB 200 II is the reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it delivers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours and provides standard time and date functionality.
The movement is customized to DOXA’s specifications, including a signed rotor, and is housed behind a solid caseback engraved with a sailing yacht motif, reinforcing the watch’s maritime identity.
Strap and Bracelet Options
The SUB 200 II is offered with a choice between a stainless steel Milanese mesh bracelet and an FKM rubber strap. The rubber option is available in several colors, including black, blue, green, and red, allowing it to match the dial configurations. This range of options ensures versatility, whether the wearer prefers a classic dive watch look or a more modern, sporty style.
Pricing and Availability
The SUB 200 II remains positioned as an accessible entry point into DOXA’s dive watch universe. Pricing starts at € 1,590 for the stainless steel version on a rubber strap, while models fitted with the Milanese bracelet are priced at € 1,650. The black DLC-coated variants are slightly higher, coming in at € 1,690 on rubber and € 1,790 when paired with the coated Milanese bracelet.
