Summary
|
This is a vintage Doxa Sub 300T Professional with Synchron dial. The caseback is marked 6669000. The watch was well known amongst hardcore divers and made famous by Dirk Pitt in the Clive Cussler novels. The watch contains an automatic winding movement with date, Doxa Calibre 118 - ETA 2472. We matched the watch with a lightly used vintage Tropic rubber strap and a deployant buckle. Though we call it a Diver’s watch, don’t dive with it. Vintage watches such as this need to be protected from water.

Unique Guidance on the Operation of this Watch
To adjust the date, the watch uses a semi-quickset mechanism. Move the hands forward past midnight until the date increments. Then move the hands backwards to 9pm and then past midnight again until the date increments. Continue this process until the date is set to today’s date.
ClockSavant Watchmaker Testing, Certification, and Performance Measurement
All the watches we sell go through a comprehensive series of ClockSavant-developed functional, stability, and performance tests and are only approved for sale if they meet or exceed the criteria we have established. Performance measurements for this watch are provided below. See the Support page of our website for an explanation of watch performance measurements and guidance on interpretation. The watch performance values provided do not necessarily reflect the accuracy you will experience based on your unique watch wearing habits. You may experience a gain or loss by as much as approximately 1 minute per day with vintage watches.
Legend: Rate, Amplitude (Amp), and Beat Error (BE) are provided for Dial-Up (CH) and Dial-Down (FH) positions. Averages (Avg) are also provided. These represent the average performance of the watch across all 6 traditionally measured watch positions which, in addition to dial-up and dial-down, are the vertical positions of Crown-Up, Crown-Down, Crown-Left, and Crown-Right. Rate is expressed in seconds gained or lost during a 24 hour period. Amplitude is in degrees. Beat Error is in milliseconds. Lift Angle used in measurement is unique to the particular watch calibre.
