Quick TakeThis SUB 300T isn't just telling time; it's whispering tales of deep-sea exploration and adventure, straight from the pages of a Clive Cussler novel. The deliberately aged steel feels less like a manufactured finish and more like it's earned its patina battling saltwater and pressure on countless NUMA expeditions. That handmade compass dial isn't merely decorative; it's your navigational guide through murky waters, pointing towards forgotten wrecks and hidden treasures. Notice the red dates – 7, 15, 31 – a subtle nod to the master storyteller himself. It’s robust, rated for serious depths with its screw-down crown and helium release valve, ready for whatever underwater mission you throw at it. Even the engravings on the case back, listing real NUMA discoveries, pull you deeper into the narrative. Strapped on the Beads of Rice bracelet, it feels substantial, purposeful. This is a watch for someone who doesn't just read adventure stories but lives them, a tangible piece of Cussler's legacy wrapped around your wrist.
DescriptionExecuting the primary timekeeping functions is a Swiss mechanical automatic movement, operating on a self-winding mechanism. Its operational frequency is specified at 28,800 vibrations per hour, equivalent to 4.0 Hertz, ensuring precise measurement of temporal increments. The movement sustains a power reserve of approximately 38 hours when fully wound. Further enhancing its appeal, the internal mechanism features decoration applied by DOXA. Time indication is provided through conventional hours, minutes, and central seconds hands, supplemented by a date complication displayed via an aperture integrated into the dial. Protection for the dial and internal components is afforded by a sapphire crystal, selected for its superior scratch resistance properties. The dial itself presents a distinctive aesthetic achieved through a handmade decorative grinding process, resulting in a unique visual texture intended to resemble a vintage compass rose. Key date numerals 7, 15, and 31 are rendered in red, commemorating the birth date of Clive Cussler.
Constructed entirely from stainless steel subjected to an aging process, the case presents dimensions of 42.50 mm in width and 44.50 mm in length, with a vertical profile measuring 13.65 mm in height. This specialized finishing technique imparts a weathered appearance to the external surfaces, simulating the patina acquired by nautical artifacts over time. Water ingress protection is rated to 30 atmospheres, corresponding to a depth of 300 meters or 984 feet, facilitated by a screw-down crown and a solid, screw-down case back. Adding to its diving capabilities is a helium release valve, essential for saturation diving applications. The case back is further distinguished by engravings detailing the names of shipwrecks and historical artifacts discovered or surveyed by the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), founded by Cussler. Encircling the crystal is a unidirectional rotating bezel, also fabricated from aged stainless steel, featuring dive time graduations marked in feet. An individual, exclusive serial number is discreetly engraved on the side of the bezel for authentication and uniqueness. The watch is supplied with a matching aged stainless steel "Beads of Rice" bracelet, incorporating a folding clasp equipped with a ratcheting wetsuit extension for adjustable fit over diving suits. The interface point for the bracelet or strap features a standard lug width of 20.00 mm. An additional NATO strap is included within the presentation box, offering an alternative wearing option.
