Quick TakeAlright, let's talk about the SUB 200 Searambler. Forget flashy colors for a second; this one's all about cool, collected capability. The silver dial – that's the 'Searambler' signature – gives it this almost sophisticated, tool-watch vibe. It’s like the calm, experienced diver in the group, knows its stuff, doesn't need to shout. That 42mm steel case has presence, solid 316L steel that feels ready for anything. You get that retro charm with the domed sapphire crystal – tough as nails but with a nod to the old plexiglass curves – and the classic 'Beads of Rice' bracelet just seals the deal on vintage cool, plus it's got that handy wetsuit extension. Underneath, it’s pure Swiss reliability: an automatic movement ticking away at a smooth 4Hz, 200 meters of water resistance thanks to the screw-down crown and back... it’s properly equipped for underwater exploration, or just, you know, exploring the urban jungle. The unidirectional bezel with its sapphire inlay isn't just functional; it adds another layer of resilience. It's a DOXA dive watch through and through, just dressed in its most refined, ready-for-anything silver suit.

DescriptionEngineering analysis of the Doxa SUB 200 Searambler, reference 799.10.021.10, reveals a robust construction centered around a case fabricated from high-grade 316L stainless steel. This specific alloy is selected for its superior resistance to corrosion, particularly in marine environments, and its hypoallergenic properties. The case dimensions are specified as 42.00 mm in diameter, with a lug-to-lug measurement of 46.00 mm and a total height of 13.80 mm. These measurements contribute to its substantial presence while maintaining wearability. Protection against water ingress is paramount, achieved through a screw-down case back and a screw-down crown, both precision-engineered features essential for meeting the specified water resistance rating of 20 ATM, equivalent to 200 meters or 656 feet. This level of resistance confirms the timepiece's suitability for recreational scuba diving and other demanding aquatic activities. The upper surface is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, noted for its hardness which ranks just below diamond. This crystal incorporates an anti-reflective coating to maximize legibility under various lighting conditions and features a domed profile, reminiscent of vintage acrylic crystals but offering significantly enhanced durability and clarity. Complementing the case is a unidirectional rotating bezel, a critical safety feature for divers, allowing for the tracking of elapsed time. The bezel mechanism permits rotation only counter-clockwise, preventing accidental extension of measured dive times. It is further enhanced with a sapphire inlay, providing exceptional scratch resistance to this frequently handled component, ensuring the markings remain pristine over time. All elements critical for dive time measurement, including the bezel indices and primary dial indicators, are treated with a Super-LumiNova luminescent compound for optimal visibility in low-light underwater environments.

Powering the timekeeping functions is a Swiss-made mechanical movement operating on an automatic self-winding principle. This eliminates the need for manual winding when the watch is worn regularly, as the rotor harnesses energy from the wearer's motion. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4.0 Hz), a rate known for contributing to greater accuracy and a smoother sweep of the seconds hand. When fully wound, the mechanism provides a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. While the specific caliber is not detailed beyond its Swiss origin and automatic winding nature, it is noted as being decorated by DOXA, suggesting aesthetic finishing applied to the movement components, visible perhaps if a display back were optioned, though this model specifies a solid stainless steel screw-down back. Time indication is provided through central hour, minute, and second hands, alongside a date function displayed via an aperture on the dial. The dial itself is described as 'Iconic', referencing DOXA's established design language, specifically the Searambler's characteristic silvered or white appearance providing high contrast. Attachment to the wrist is facilitated by several options. The primary offering is a 316L stainless steel 'Beads of Rice' bracelet, known for its comfort and vintage aesthetic, secured by a folding clasp that includes a practical wetsuit extension mechanism allowing for quick adjustment over dive suits. Alternatively, FKM rubber straps are available in standard (125.00 mm x 75.00 mm) and small (110.00 mm x 65.00 mm) lengths, both utilizing a pin buckle closure and interfacing with the case via a 19.00 mm lug width. FKM rubber is chosen for its resistance to chemicals, heat, and environmental factors, making it suitable for diving applications.
