Quick TakeThis isn't just a timepiece; it's a vibrant chunk of the ocean, tamed and strapped to your wrist. The SUB 600T Aquamarine doesn't whisper its capabilities; it shouts them with that brilliant dial, a color so bold it practically dares the deep sea to a staring contest. Imagine the satisfying click of that unidirectional bezel, each rotation a precise measure against the abyss, its dual scale a nod to divers who speak in both minutes and feet. Built like a personal submarine from solid 316L steel, it’s ready for pressures that would crush lesser companions, all while a Swiss automatic heart beats reliably within, oblivious to the crushing depths or the boardroom meeting. The sapphire crystal shrugs off scratches like water off a duck's back, ensuring that glorious aquamarine view remains pristine. And those shark tooth markers? They’re not just cool; they’re your steadfast glowing guides in the murky unknown. Whether you’re pairing it with the robust steel bracelet that screams retro-tool-watch, or the comfy, color-matched NATO for a more casual vibe, this DOXA is a statement of adventure, a splash of defiant color against the monochrome of the everyday.
DescriptionThe SUB 600T Aquamarine, reference 861.10.241.10, is engineered with a case constructed from 316L stainless steel, a material selected for its high resistance to corrosion, particularly in marine environments, and its overall durability. The case dimensions are specified as 40.00 mm in diameter, with a lug-to-lug measurement of 47.60 mm and a total height of 14.15 mm. These proportions maintain the compact wearability characteristic of the historical model, despite the dial's perceived expanse. Integral to its underwater performance is a screw-down crown, strategically positioned at the 4 o'clock locus to enhance ergonomic comfort and minimize potential impact interference. Complementing the crown, the case back is also a screw-down stainless steel type, contributing significantly to the watch's structural integrity and pressure endurance. This construction ensures water resistance up to 60 ATM, equivalent to 600 meters or 1,970 feet, providing a substantial operational margin for advanced diving activities. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, a material renowned for its superior scratch resistance, second only to diamond, and its excellent optical clarity, crucial for legibility under challenging conditions. The design remains faithful to the 1980s SUB 600T aesthetic while incorporating these modern material and engineering enhancements for contemporary reliability.
Further technical attributes of the SUB 600T Aquamarine include a patented unidirectional rotating bezel, a critical safety feature for divers. This mechanism allows for the calculation of dive times and supports safe ascent protocols by preventing accidental counter-rotation, which could otherwise lead to miscalculation of remaining air supply or decompression stops. The bezel offers a dual indication system, displaying dive time in minutes and depth in feet, catering to a wider range of diver preferences and operational standards. Options for the bezel inlay include either a sandblasted stainless steel finish or a black ceramic insert, both chosen for their resilience and legibility. Powering the timepiece is a Swiss mechanical automatic, self-winding movement, which is decorated by DOXA. It operates at a frequency of 28,800.0 vibrations per hour (4.0 Hz), providing a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. The movement facilitates indications for hours, minutes, seconds, and a date function. For optimal visibility in low-light underwater environments, all dive-related indications on the iconic Aquamarine dial, including the distinctive ‘shark tooth’ markers at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions, are coated with Super-LumiNova®. The watch is offered with either a 316L stainless steel bracelet, featuring a folding clasp with a wetsuit extension for practical diver use and a 'modern vintage' aesthetic, or a tone-on-tone NATO strap equipped with a pin buckle and quick-release spring bars for easy interchangeability. The lug width is a standard 20.00 mm.
