Doxa Unveils Limited Edition SUB 200T Afterglow with Sunset-Inspired Pink Dial
Doxa, renowned for its vibrant dive watch color palettes, has once again captivated enthusiasts with the introduction of a striking new timepiece. The latest addition to its esteemed SUB collection, the SUB 200T Afterglow, boasts a unique pink sunray dial. This distinctive hue draws its inspiration from the breathtaking 'afterglow' phenomenon observed in Naples, Florida, where the sky is painted in mesmerizing shades of pink, violet, and magenta shortly after sunset. Developed in partnership with the Naples-based luxury retailer Exquisite Timepieces, this limited edition not only celebrates the enchanting natural beauty surrounding the retailer's home but also bestows a vibrant and unforgettable identity upon the SUB 200T, a model that joined Doxa's more compact dive watch family in 2024.
Introducing the Doxa SUB 200T Afterglow: A Fusion of Elegance and Engineering
The Doxa SUB 200T Afterglow maintains the refined dimensions of its series, featuring a robust 39mm stainless steel case. With a slender profile of 10.7mm thickness and a lug-to-lug measurement of 41.5mm, it offers a comfortable fit without compromising on durability. The brushed case is complemented by a unidirectional rotating bezel, meticulously engraved with Doxa's signature no-decompression scale, and highlighted by a luminous dot for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. A resilient scratch-resistant sapphire crystal safeguards the captivating dial, while the solid caseback proudly displays an intricate engraving of the Florida peninsula, symbolizing the inspiration behind this exclusive timepiece. Engineered for aquatic adventures, the watch boasts an impressive water resistance of 200 meters.
The luminous pink dial is the heart of this watch's aesthetic appeal. Its sunray finish masterfully captures and reflects light, creating a dynamic interplay of tones that mimic the shifting colors of the Gulf of Mexico's twilight sky. Beyond its stunning visual appeal, the dial retains Doxa's classic legibility, featuring an oversized minute hand, bold block-shaped hour markers, a precise crosshair, and a thoughtfully outlined and beveled date window positioned at 3 o'clock. This design ensures that functionality and style go hand-in-hand.
At the core of the SUB 200T Afterglow lies the Sellita SW200-1 élaboré automatic caliber, a testament to reliable Swiss watchmaking. This movement, encased beneath the solid caseback, operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a commendable 38-hour power reserve. It meticulously drives the hours, minutes, central seconds, and date functions, ensuring accurate timekeeping.
Completing this exquisite limited edition is Doxa's iconic stainless steel beads-of-rice bracelet. Known for its comfort and distinctive appearance, the bracelet is secured with a folding clasp that incorporates a wetsuit extension, allowing for easy adjustment over diving gear. The Doxa SUB 200T Afterglow is a highly exclusive offering, with production limited to just 50 pieces. It will be available for purchase exclusively through Exquisite Timepieces, both online and at their booth during the Windup Watch Fair 2026 in New York City. This unique dive watch is priced at USD 1,990, making it a coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts.
The Doxa SUB 200T Afterglow is more than just a time-telling device; it's a wearable piece of art that captures the fleeting beauty of a Floridian sunset. Its limited availability and unique aesthetic make it a truly special addition to any watch collection. It reminds us that even in the world of precision engineering, there's always room for inspiration drawn from the natural world, transforming a functional tool into a poetic statement.
