Quick TakeAlright, let's talk about the SUB 1500T Searambler. This isn't just some desk diver pretending to be tough. No, this chunk of steel is the real deal, a direct descendant of the groundbreaking Conquistador that brought the helium escape valve to the masses back in '68. That cushion case, all 45mm of it, feels like a serious piece of kit on the wrist – substantial, purposeful. And 1500 meters water resistance? That's not just splashing around; that's deep-sea territory, the kind of capability most owners will never truly test, but knowing it's there? That's confidence. The Searambler dial, that classic silver sunburst, adds a touch of unexpected brightness to this otherwise hardcore tool. It’s like finding a flash of chrome on a battle tank. You've got the non-nonsense unidirectional bezel marked in feet, the safety net of the HRV, and a Swiss automatic heart beating reliably inside. It's a watch built for pressure, for the silent depths, yet that dial gives it a personality that works just as well catching sunlight topside. It's pure, unadulterated DOXA diving heritage.
Description
The timepiece designated SUB 1500T Searambler, reference number 883.10.021.10, is engineered for demanding underwater environments, drawing functional lineage from the 1968 SUB 300T Conquistador. Its substantial case architecture is constructed from high-grade 316L stainless steel, presenting a distinct cushion shape. Overall case dimensions measure 45.00 mm in diameter and 47.00 mm lug-to-lug, with a total height profile of 16.25 mm. Water integrity is rated to an exceptional 150 atmospheres, equivalent to a depth of 1,500 meters or 5,249 feet, ensured by a screw-down crown mechanism and a solid 316L stainless steel screw-down case back. Protection for the dial is afforded by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. A critical component for dive timing is the patented unidirectional rotating bezel, calibrated specifically in feet for decompression calculations. Integrated seamlessly into the case design is an automatic helium release valve (HRV), essential for saturation diving applications by allowing trapped helium molecules to escape during decompression, thus preventing crystal displacement. The case design meticulously balances robustness required for deep-sea exploration with functional elements inherited from its historical predecessor, establishing it as a purpose-built instrument for professional divers.
Powering the SUB 1500T is a Swiss origin mechanical movement characterized by its automatic, self-winding capability. This calibre operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4.0 Hz), ensuring precise timekeeping performance. It provides a power reserve of approximately 50 hours when fully wound. The movement further features decoration applied by DOXA, adding an aesthetic refinement visible should the case back be removed during servicing. Time indication is provided through central hour, minute, and second hands, supplemented by a date display function presented via an aperture on the dial. Legibility under low-light conditions, crucial for underwater visibility, is optimized through the application of Super-LumiNova luminescent material to all mission-critical dial elements and hands. The watch features the brand's iconic dial configuration, specifically in the Searambler silver finish. Attachment to the wrist is facilitated by either a 316L stainless steel bracelet, equipped with a folding clasp incorporating the Doxa fish symbol and a wetsuit extension, or an FKM rubber strap option, also featuring a folding clasp but with a ratcheting wetsuit extension for finer adjustment over dive suits. The interface point between the case and the strap/bracelet is standardized at a lug width of 21.00 mm. GenderMen
