Doxa 300B Watches Look More Stylish in Steel Chain
Following the introduction of a limited edition for Dubai Watch Week and a black and gold iteration, Doxa has at last unveiled a permanent collection of steel Doxa SUB 300β watches. Although more timepieces require size reduction, Doxa has undertaken the task of dieting the SUB300, which has resulted in the creation of the Doxa 300B.
Although the Doxa 300B watches' lug-to-lug length is 44.5 mm, which is 0.5 mm shorter than the 42.5 mm model, the thinner casing will be the most appealing feature. The Doxa 300B has a casing thickness of 11.95 mm, unlike the 13.65 mm of the SUB300. The bezel is brand new as well, made entirely of black ceramic and carrying on the razor-edge look of the previous models. The dual depth and timing scales are still present in the bezel, however, the blue edition has a blue ceramic inlay instead of black. The watch has 300m of water resistance which does justice to its name and history.
It gets much more intriguing when you look at the dials. The traditional models' flat matte hue has been replaced with a more styled look. Alternatively, the 300B is offered with a selection of blue, white, or black dials. Although all three dial variations incorporate orange accents as a tribute to the brand's distinctive color, the black dial can also be had with turquoise or yellow highlights. The dials have been simplified by removing minute hashes while retaining the same type of hands, hour markers, crosshairs, and date window.
This imparts a more contemporary appearance to the timepieces, albeit with a slightly reduced emphasis on technical aspects. One further aspect to note is that although every watch displays recognizable text on the dial, the model name now includes the symbol "β", and each watch is assigned a unique specifier beneath the model name.
The watch's Swiss automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement is identical to that of the first two 300B editions. The advertised minimum power reserve is 38 hours at 28,800 vph, indicating a dependable movement. Sellita reports an average power reserve of 41 hours. A chronometer-certified ETA 2824-2 is featured in the basic 300.
The watch itself is not undergoing a significant size reduction, hence it will still be worn similarly to the conventional Doxa 300. However, the slimmer and slightly lighter case should enhance its wearability. The less remarkable movement and the more straightforward, patterned dial will probably be the two points of debate. However, the Doxa 300B watches are available at a lower price of USD 2,250 with a rubber strap and USD 2,290 with a bracelet.
