Legendary dive watchmaker DOXA has teamed up with prestigious US retailer Exquisite Timepieces to unveil a collaborative limited edition as exclusive as it is evocative. Limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, the new DOXA SUB 200T ‘Afterglow’ pays tribute to the spectacular sunsets of the Gulf Coast in Naples, Florida, capturing that fleeting post-sunset moment known as the “afterglow”.
Inspired by the Twilight Skies of Naples
Naples, on the coast of Florida, is world-famous for its intense sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. However, the true visual magic happens seconds after the sun dips below the horizon, when the sky lights up with a characteristic and vibrant wash of pink, violet, and magenta. To capture this lighting phenomenon with absolute fidelity, DOXA has equipped this model with a sunray-finished dial in a carefully studied pink hue that shifts dynamically with the light.
This vibrant background contrasts elegantly with the classic elements of the SUB 200T range, giving the piece a deeply personal character rooted in the local identity of its retail partner.
The 39mm Architecture of the SUB 200T
Built upon the successful and versatile platform of the SUB 200T, this watch maintains the balanced proportions favored by modern collectors. Its 316L stainless steel case features a measured diameter of 39 mm, a lug-to-lug length of 41.5 mm, and a slender thickness of just 10.7 mm.
The unidirectional rotating bezel incorporates traditional decompression scales engraved in orange to match the overall aesthetic. Protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the assembly guarantees a water resistance of up to 200 meters (660 feet).
Swiss Mechanics and Custom Caseback
Beating inside is the Swiss Sellita SW 200-1 automatic movement in élaboré grade, a robust and reliable caliber oscillating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offering a 38-hour power reserve.
The watch comes on the iconic stainless steel ‘beads-of-rice’ bracelet, equipped with a secure folding clasp and a practical wetsuit extension. As an exclusive nod to this partnership, the solid caseback features original custom artwork and the individual numbering of the limited series (XXX/50).
