Quick TakeSink into the deep blue allure of the DOXA SUB 1500T Caribbean. This isn't just a watch; it's a piece of certified deep-sea hardware wrapped in classic dive watch swagger. Forget dainty dress pieces; the 1500T boasts a brawny 45mm cushion case that feels substantial, purposeful, a reassuring weight on the wrist as you contemplate your next adventure, whether that's 1500 meters down or just navigating rush hour. That rich Caribbean blue dial, punctuated by those iconic blocky hands and markers coated in Super-LumiNova, isn't just for looks—it’s designed for instant readability when the light gets scarce. The automatic movement hums along reliably with a hefty 50-hour power reserve, powered by your own motion. You get the heritage, the professional-grade helium release valve, the non-nonsense unidirectional bezel marked in feet, and that unmistakable DOXA vibe. It’s a tool, yes, but one with undeniable soul, a modern successor to a legend, ready for anything you can throw at it, or submerge it in.

DescriptionEngineered for extreme underwater environments, the Doxa SUB 1500T Caribbean, reference 883.10.201.32, embodies robust construction and high-performance functionality, continuing the legacy established by the 1968 SUB 300T Conquistador. Its substantial case architecture is meticulously crafted from high-grade 316L stainless steel, presenting a distinct cushion shape. The primary case dimensions measure 45.00 mm in diameter, extending to 47.00 mm lug-to-lug, with a significant vertical profile of 16.25 mm, ensuring a commanding presence. Integral to its deep-diving capability is the screw-down crown mechanism, which contributes significantly to the watch's impressive water resistance rating of 150 atmospheres (ATM). This pressure rating translates to a certified depth capability of 1,500 meters or 5,249 feet, positioning the timepiece among elite saturation diving instruments. Further enhancing its deep-sea credentials is the integrated helium release valve (HRV), a critical feature for professional divers operating in pressurized habitats, allowing trapped helium molecules to escape safely during decompression, thereby preventing crystal displacement. The case integrity is completed by a solid 316L stainless steel screw-down case back, providing a secure seal against extreme pressures. Protection for the dial is afforded by a resilient sapphire crystal, known for its superior scratch resistance compared to mineral glass, ensuring long-term clarity and durability under demanding conditions.

Powering the SUB 1500T is a Swiss-made mechanical movement characterized by its automatic, self-winding capabilities, eliminating the need for manual winding when worn regularly. This movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph), equivalent to 4.0 Hertz, a standard rate for modern performance movements, contributing to the smooth sweep of the seconds hand and enhanced timekeeping precision. When fully wound, the caliber boasts a considerable power reserve of 50 hours, allowing the watch to maintain operation for over two days when not worn. The movement features decoration applied by DOXA, adding an aesthetic refinement visible should the case back be removed for servicing. Time indication includes central hours, minutes, and seconds hands, complemented by a date aperture for added daily utility. Legibility, a paramount concern for diving watches, is addressed through the application of Super-LumiNova luminescent material on critical dial elements and hands, ensuring optimal visibility in low-light underwater conditions. The watch incorporates a patented unidirectional rotating bezel, calibrated in feet, a crucial tool for dive time tracking that prevents accidental clockwise rotation, which could dangerously underestimate remaining dive time. The attachment system includes options for either a robust 316L stainless steel bracelet or a flexible FKM rubber strap, both featuring a secure folding clasp mechanism incorporating a wetsuit extension (ratcheting on the rubber strap version) to accommodate wear over bulky dive suits. The lug width is specified at 21.00 mm.
