oxa channels its adventurous spirit through the fictional world of Clive Cussler, the acclaimed American adventure novelist. Cussler wrote over 85 books, selling more than 100 million copies, and discovered scores of shipwrecks through the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), the non-profit organisation he founded in 1979. His books were adapted for the big screen twice: Raise the Titanic (1980) and Sahara (2005).

Cussler’s novels were highly influential in showcasing Doxa to the world. The watch’s iconic orange dial helped the famed fictional adventure hero, Dirk Pitt, to accurately read the time during his deadline-driven diving missions. Just as Cussler’s novels explored historical mysteries and transported characters on epic quests, so the author himself, an explorer and Doxa wearer, inspired the brand to reimagine the SUB 300T, introducing an artistic and historical touch to the series.

The SUB 300T Clive Cussler remains true to the collection’s core characteristics while being highly distinctive. With an original handmade dial resembling a vintage compass and an aged steel patina applied to the watch, bracelet, clasp, and pin buckle, the watch is designed to have a weathered look, perfectly suited for the wrist of an adventurer in one of Cussler’s novels.

This timepiece’s aged effect reflects the journey of a nautical artefact, and the conditions it experienced during its time submerged in the depths. Each watch is discreetly and individually engraved with its own exclusive number on the side of the bezel, signifying its uniqueness and authenticity. Sporting a faceted, structured 42mm diameter case, this watch features a special design that captures the Cussler identity and commemorates the author’s date of birth (July 15th, 1931), with the numerals 7, 15 and 31 displayed in red on the dial.

A percentage of sales from this special edition Clive Cussler watch will be donated to NUMA. Additionally, the names of shipwrecks and other historical artefacts discovered or surveyed by NUMA up to 2022 are engraved on the back of the SUB 300T Clive Cussler case. Each timepiece comes with an extra NATO beige strap, and an additional black FKM rubber strap with an aged stainless steel folding clasp is available for purchase.
