This is a rare in New condition 2018 re-release in Limited Edition the legendary Doxa AQUA LUNG in 300 and COSC Certification which is a rare thing for Doxa. This is full set with diving belt and Doxa Aqua Lung Knife.

Doxa is a watch brand that is mainly known to ‘those in the know’. Dive watch enthusiasts for instance. The brand is best known for the orange-dial dive watches they manufactured in the 1960’s and 1970’s when scuba diving became a popular sport. We’re talking about the iconic (and I’m not exaggerating) Doxa Sub 300T. In the past years, Doxa has recreated several highly collectable pieces from the 1960’s and 1970’s, this Sub 300 50th Anniversary and past Sub 300 Black Lung.  The 1970s were the golden age of scuba diving. Jacques Cousteau, the godfather of diving, was bringing subaquatic wonders into living rooms on TV, the sport’s popularity was booming, and countless people were inspired to try diving.

Better equipment was making it safer and more accessible, and commercial jet travel allowed divers to explore the far corners of the world’s oceans. Scuba diving was the ‘extreme sport’ of the decade, long before that term was invented. Divers strapped life supports to their backs and descended, weightless, into an alien world. It was also a time when a wristwatch wasn’t simply an accessory, it was a vital piece of gear, as critical to safe diving as a depth gauge or breathing regulator.

And the dive watch to have was a DOXA; purpose-built, rugged, and trusted to keep track of time underwater. The godfather of diving himself wore DOXA. So did SEALAB divers and the French Navy. While dive watches had already become fashionable by the 1970s, DOXA stayed close to its diving brief, with its signature oversized minute hand, bright legible dials and patented bezel, printed with the US Navy’s no-decompression limits scale. The SUB 300 Searambler ‘Silver Lung’ is a highly anticipated successor to the fastest-selling DOXA of all time: 2017’s SUB 300 ‘Black Lung’ watch, designed in collaboration with DOXA and venerable dive gear manufacturer Aqua Lung.

Following the Black Lung’s blueprint, this special SUB 300 is a faithful homage to a rare, and highly collectable silver-dialed vintage DOXA SUB created in partnership with Aqua Lung in 1967.  Unlike 2017’s ‘Black Lung,’ which was delivered in DOXA’s ‘Professional’ orange dial, the Silver Lung is clad in another long-running DOXA signature: the brand’s “Searambler” livery. The brushed silver dial evokes the warm rays of the sun reflecting off the cool surface of the ocean.

The SUB 300 ‘Silver Lung’ continues the yearlong 50th-anniversary celebration for DOXA Watches, whose pioneering SUB first plumbed the ocean depths in 1967 as the first purpose-built dive watch for the emerging recreational scuba diving market. Praised for its bright orange dial and professional-grade build quality and dependability, the SUB quickly became the benchmark against which all other dive watches were measured, and ultimately won the approval of the pioneers of modern diving. This included those at Aqua Lung, who would soon distribute the watches under the US Divers name before consolidating into the singular name Aqua-Lung in 1998.

The ‘Silver Lung’ also marks the continued celebration of Aqua Lung’s 75th anniversary, which began in 1943; the development of the world’s first self-contained underwater breathing apparatus was promptly dubbed “aqua-lung.” Together with the DOXA SUB dive watch, the original aqua-lung would expand the possibilities of ocean exploration, and accelerate man’s race to the bottom of the sea.

“We were thrilled at the reception we received to the modern observation of one of our most historic partnerships. It made perfect sense to pay tribute to another iconic watch from that original trio of DOXA SUB watches bearing our classic yellow-on-black insignia – a collaboration which still holds a special place in the minds of our founders, as well as with divers the world over.”  Don Rockwell, CEO, Aqua Lung

“Continuing the fine traditions of the Aqua Lung name remains one of DOXA’s highest honors. Like DOXA, Aqua Lung is a name that carries an incredibly rich legacy of ocean exploration, and we believe this very special SUB is the perfect means of paying tribute.” Rick Marei, Marketing Manager, DOXA Watches LTD

Like the original SUB 300, the case of the modern Silver Lung special edition is machined from a solid block of stainless steel, measuring 42.5 mm in diameter, by 13.4 mm thick. The watch is powered by a chronometer-grade ETA 2824-2 automatic caliber and finished with a generously domed bubble sapphire crystal and DOXA’s signature stainless steel “beads of rice” bracelet which tapers to an integrated wetsuit extension. The serrated, unidirectional timing bezel also displays a patented DOXA innovation: an integrated “no deco” scale, engraved in orange, per the US Navy’s maximum no-decompression limits for safe recreational diving.
