Quick TakeForget stealth, this DOXA SUB 300 Carbon Caribbean is a high-tech featherweight powerhouse masquerading as pure, unadulterated fun. The forged carbon case isn't just light; it's got this marbled, almost organic texture that feels incredibly modern, like something pulled from an aerospace lab. But then you see that vibrant Caribbean blue dial pop against the dark carbon and the orange accents – it’s pure retro DOXA charm, updated for the 21st century. Inside, the COSC-certified automatic movement is ticking away reliably, a proper engine for this performance machine. You’ve got serious 300-meter water resistance thanks to the titanium inner chamber and screw-down crown, plus that grippy carbon bezel for timing dives (or maybe just pizza delivery). The domed sapphire crystal adds a vintage touch while being tough as nails. Strapped onto the comfy FKM rubber with its handy dive extension, it feels ready for anything, from exploring reefs to navigating the urban jungle. It’s a tool watch that doesn't take itself too seriously, blending advanced materials with a legendary design and a splash of irresistible color.

DescriptionEngineering specifications for the Doxa SUB 300 Carbon, reference 822.70.201.20, detail a timepiece constructed primarily from forged carbon for the main case body. This material selection contributes to the watch's lightweight yet robust characteristics, suitable for demanding environments. Case dimensions are specified as 42.50 mm in diameter, extending to 45.00 mm across its length (lug-to-lug dimension is inferred but not explicitly stated as such), with a vertical profile measuring 13.40 mm in height. Structural integrity for underwater operation is enhanced by a pressure-resistant internal chamber and screw-down case back, both fabricated from titanium. Water resistance is rated at 30 atmospheres, corresponding to a depth capability of 300 meters or approximately 984 feet. The winding crown employs a screw-down mechanism to further secure the case against water ingress. Protecting the dial is a domed sapphire crystal, chosen for its high scratch resistance and treated with an anti-reflective coating to maximize legibility under various lighting conditions; its curvature pays homage to the original SUB 300's plexiglass. Time-setting and winding are managed via this crown. The unidirectional rotating bezel, also crafted from carbon, features dive time markings calibrated in meters and incorporates Super-LumiNova® application for visibility in low-light scenarios, a feature shared by all critical dive-related indices and hands on the dial.

Powering the SUB 300 Carbon Caribbean is a Swiss-made automatic mechanical movement. This self-winding caliber operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4.0 Hz), ensuring smooth sweep of the seconds hand and reliable timekeeping. The movement has undergone rigorous testing to achieve Chronometer certification from the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), guaranteeing adherence to strict precision standards. A fully wound mainspring provides a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. Time indication is provided through central hour, minute, and second hands. A date complication is integrated, displayed through an aperture located at the 3 o'clock position on the dial. The movement features decoration applied by DOXA, visible should the case back be removed, though the standard configuration utilizes a solid screw-down titanium case back. The timepiece is supplied with an FKM rubber strap conforming to a 20.00 mm lug width. This strap is secured by a folding clasp featuring a black Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating for enhanced durability and aesthetics, and incorporates a ratcheting wetsuit extension mechanism allowing for easy adjustment over dive gear. The clasp is adorned with the distinctive DOXA fish symbol. The dial itself is presented in the "Caribbean" blue colorway, maintaining the iconic SUB 300 layout known for its clarity.
