The new SUB 200 T.GRAPH II marks the return of one of DOXA's earliest dive chronographs, originally introduced in 1969 and among the earliest purpose-built diver-chronographs ever produced. This latest iteration preserves the character that made the original reference so distinctive while introducing refined proportions, a modern automatic movement, and new colour options. More importantly, the new model remains faithful to the qualities that have made DOXA such a respected and distinctive name in the world of dive watches. All of the traits that have made the brand so beloved — the cushion-shaped case, colourful dials, vintage charm, and rugged character — are present here.

The Case and Dial: A Familiar Shape, Pure DOXA Character

The SUB 200 T.GRAPH II is instantly recognizable as a DOXA. Crafted from stainless steel, the case measures 42 mm in diameter, 14.6 mm in thickness, and 44.5 mm in lug to lug distance. Completing the case is the unidirectional bezel, whose orange markings add another splash of colour. As expected from a proper dive watch, the SUB 200 T.GRAPH II is equipped with a screw-down crown and screw-down caseback and provides a 200 metres of water resistance .

The dial, too, stays true to the design formula that has made DOXA instantly recognizable. Large hour markers, oversized hands, and the brand's characteristically vibrant colour palette give the watch plenty of personality while ensuring the high level of legibility expected of a proper dive watch. The chronograph display is arranged with a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a running seconds register at 9 o'clock. Particularly eye-catching are the alternating yellow and black markings on the chronograph counter, which add an extra touch of vibrancy and elevate the overall dial design.

The date window at 6 o'clock is also thoughtfully integrated. While date apertures can sometimes disrupt the symmetry of a dial, the shape and dimensions of the date window here closely mirror those of the surrounding hour markers, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the overall design. Another small but noteworthy detail is the unconventional placement of the text on the dial. Rather than positioning the logo beneath 12 o'clock and the technical inscriptions above 6 o'clock, DOXA places the brand and model names beneath 11 o'clock and the additional inscriptions above 5 o'clock. It is a subtle but effective touch that lends the watch a distinctive character. Most importantly, the hands and hour markers are treated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring that the watch remains highly legible in low-light conditions.

Automatic Movement

Powering the Doxa SUB 200 T.GRAPH II is the Sellita SW510 automatic chronograph movement, replacing the manual-winding calibre found in the original 1969 model. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the Swiss-made movement offers a healthy 56-hour power reserve, ensuring that the watch can comfortably be left off the wrist for a couple of days without stopping. By pairing a modern automatic movement with the watch's unmistakably vintage design, DOXA has succeeded in combining old-world charm with modern practicality.

Available Colours and Strap Options

As one would expect from DOXA, the SUB 200 T.GRAPH II is available in a number of vibrant colourways. Fans of the brand's iconic Professional orange dial will be pleased to know that the watch is offered in the familiar bright orange that helped establish DOXA's reputation among dive watch enthusiasts. Those who prefer something more understated can opt for the black Sharkhunter or silver Searambler versions. Our personal favourite, however, is the Caribbean blue model. Paired with orange accents and the yellow markings on the chronograph counter, the colour combination strikes a balance between vibrancy and restraint. This dial variant is lively and full of personality without feeling overwhelming. In my view, it is one of those rare colour palettes that manages to evoke a sense of fun and adventure while remaining highly wearable. Buyers can choose between a colour-matched rubber strap, available in hues matching the primary dial colour or Doxa's signature beads-of-rice stainless steel bracelet.

Final Thoughts: A Distinctive Choice for Dive Watch Enthusiasts

The Doxa  SUB 200 T.GRAPH II is undoubtedly an strong addition to the addition to the DOXA lineup. Apart from being a proper DOXA diver, the added chronograph functionality makes it particularly appealing to those seeking something a little different from the typical dive watch. Rugged, colourful, thoughtfully designed, and unmistakably DOXA in character, the SUB 200 T.GRAPH II successfully combines vintage appeal with modern capability.

Pricing starts at €3,950 on rubber and rises to €3,990 on the bracelet. Admittedly, it is not inexpensive. If you are budget-conscious and seeking a much more affordable dive chronograph, you might be more interested in watches such as the Modello Tre UC3 Classic Chronograph from Unimatic. That said, the pricing of the SUB 200 T.GRAPH II becomes easier to understand when viewed in the context of DOXA itself. This is a professional-grade Swiss-made dive chronograph from a brand that has a rich heritage and long been regarded as an authority in the world of dive watches. For collectors seeking a diver chronograph with genuine heritage and unique character, the Doxa SUB 200 T.GRAPH II presents a compelling proposition.
