DOXA SUB 200 T.GRAPH II: A Storied Chronograph Returns
Nearly sixty years after the original, DOXA brings back one of its most distinctive chapters — a dive chronograph that helped define an era.
There are few watch brands whose history reads quite like DOXA's. The Swiss manufacturer spent the late 1960s rewriting what a dive watch could be — engineering the patented no-decompression bezel, introducing the now-iconic Professional Orange dial, and earning a reputation among commercial divers as the instrument you actually wore underwater, not the one you talked about at the surface.
In 1969, in the middle of that golden run, DOXA introduced something a little different. The SUB 200 T.GRAPH took everything that already made the SUB great — the cushion case, the patented bezel, the impossibly legible dial — and added a chronograph. It was a rare combination at the time, and it remains one of the most collectible references the brand ever produced.
Now, nearly sixty years later, the T.GRAPH is back. The new DOXA SUB 200 T.GRAPH II revives that legacy with a contemporary Swiss automatic chronograph movement, a 42 mm cushion case rated to 200 meters, four signature DOXA dial colors, and the same single-minded approach to function that defined the original. Pricing starts at USD $4,250 on rubber and $4,290 on the stainless steel "Beads of Rice" bracelet, with first deliveries scheduled for mid-July 2026. Per DOXA's retailer guidelines, the T.GRAPH II is not available for online purchase — but pre-orders are open now in store at King Jewelers Green Hills, where our DOXA specialists can walk you through the four colorways in person.
What Is the DOXA SUB 200 T.GRAPH II?
The DOXA SUB 200 T.GRAPH II is a contemporary reissue of DOXA's 1969 SUB 200 T.GRAPH — one of the brand's earliest and rarest dive chronographs. It pairs the SUB's classic cushion-shaped case (42.00 mm × 44.50 mm, 14.60 mm thick), a unidirectional rotating bezel, sapphire crystal, and 200 meters of water resistance with a Swiss mechanical automatic chronograph movement boasting a 56-hour power reserve. It is offered in four heritage DOXA dial colors — Professional Orange, Sharkhunter Black, Searambler Silver, and a new-to-the-collection Caribbean Blue — on either a stainless steel "Beads of Rice" bracelet ($4,290) or a rubber strap ($4,250), with first deliveries beginning mid-July 2026.
A Watch Born in the Golden Age of Diving
To understand why the T.GRAPH matters, it helps to look at the world it came from.
The late 1960s were a remarkable moment for tool watches. Commercial diving was expanding rapidly, undersea exploration had captured the public imagination, and watchmakers were under real pressure to build mechanical instruments that could keep up. DOXA had already established itself as the diver's specialist with the SUB — a watch built around legibility, durability, and the patented no-decompression bezel that helped a generation of professional divers manage time safely underwater.
The T.GRAPH was DOXA's answer to a question the rest of the watch world hadn't quite figured out: what does a chronograph look like when it's designed for someone who actually goes underwater?
Rather than replace the bezel as the primary timing tool, the T.GRAPH's chronograph expanded what the watch could do above the surface — measuring elapsed time, timing surface intervals, and giving the diver a second layer of timing information without compromising the simplicity that made the SUB so trusted. It was practical innovation, not novelty for its own sake. Very DOXA.
A Rare Chapter in DOXA History
Original T.GRAPH references are difficult to find. Produced during one of the most experimental periods in the brand's history, they were never built in huge numbers, and the surviving examples tend to live in serious collectors' boxes rather than on the open market.
Part of the appeal is rarity. The bigger part is what those watches represent — a moment when DOXA was actively expanding the language of the dive watch, not preserving it.
The SUB 200 T.GRAPH II honors that history without leaning too hard on it. The cushion case has been refined for better wearability, the proportions feel modern, and the chronograph functions are handled by a current-generation automatic Swiss movement. But the silhouette, the dial layout, and the personality are unmistakably T.GRAPH. As DOXA puts it, the watch feels familiar without feeling nostalgic — which is exactly the brief most collectors want a reissue to hit.
Four Colors, One DNA
Color has always been central to the DOXA SUB story. The instantly recognizable Professional Orange. The stealthy Sharkhunter Black. The quietly elegant Searambler Silver. Each name carries decades of history, and each tells a slightly different version of the same dive-watch ethos.
The SUB 200 T.GRAPH II launches in those three signature colorways, with one important addition: Caribbean Blue. Deep, rich, and unmistakably part of the SUB family heritage, Caribbean is new to the T.GRAPH lineup and gives the chronograph a fresh expression that feels — to borrow DOXA's own phrasing — as though it had always belonged there.
If you've been following our SUB 200 collection at King Jewelers, you'll already recognize Caribbean as one of the most-loved dial colors of the past few years. Seeing it applied to the T.GRAPH II is, frankly, the launch we were quietly hoping for.
Built Like a SUB: Full Specifications
For all the focus on the chronograph, the T.GRAPH II is first and foremost a SUB. The fundamentals don't change:
Case: Stainless steel cushion case, 42.00 mm × 44.50 mm, 14.60 mm thick
Crystal: Sapphire
Bezel: Unidirectional rotating dive bezel
Water resistance: 200 meters / 20 ATM / 656 ft
Crown: Screw-down
Case back: Stainless steel, screw-down
Movement: Swiss mechanical automatic, self-winding, decorated by DOXA
Frequency: 28,800 vph (4 Hz)
Power reserve: 56 hours
Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph
Dial colors: Professional (Orange), Sharkhunter (Black), Searambler (Silver), Caribbean (Blue)
Bracelet / strap: Stainless steel "Beads of Rice" bracelet, or rubber strap — both with folding clasp and ratcheting wetsuit extension
Pricing: USD $4,250 (rubber) / $4,290 (steel bracelet)
Availability: Pre-order, first deliveries mid-July 2026
Reference example: 806.10.201.10 (Caribbean, stainless steel)
The same legibility, the same proportions, the same sense that every element on the dial earned its place. Nothing about a SUB is decorative, and the T.GRAPH II carries that ethos forward without dilution.
DOXA also offers interchangeable straps and bracelets for the T.GRAPH II separately — the steel "Beads of Rice" bracelet ($560), rubber straps with folding clasp in Orange, Black, or Navy Blue ($490), simpler rubber straps in the same three colors ($290), and the standalone folding clasp with ratcheting wetsuit extension ($240) — making it straightforward to dial in the look for desk duty or dive day.
Why the Reissue Matters
Heritage reissues are everywhere in watchmaking, and most of them miss in one direction or another — either too literal, or too far from what made the original distinctive. The T.GRAPH II works because DOXA didn't try to reproduce a 1969 watch. They updated it where modern collectors will notice (movement, wearability, dial finishing) and left alone what made the original special (the silhouette, the colors, the absolute clarity of purpose).
For collectors who've been waiting for DOXA to bring the chronograph SUB back, this is the moment.
