DOXA unveils the SUB 300 Ti5 Clive Cussler
A return to the original icon, reimagined in Grade 5 titanium, in tribute to an enduring legend.
DOXA pays tribute to the celebrated American novelist, maritime explorer and founder of NUMA, who would have celebrated his 95th birthday today.
A first: the dual-plane dial architecture, creating depth and dimension
The SUB 300 Ti5 Clive Cussler introduces an entirely new dial architecture. It is, in fact, composed of two superimposed dials, both crafted from Grade 5 titanium, which together create a layered effect combining technical precision with visual impact.
The lower dial carries the Super-LumiNova® hour markers and the minute track. On the upper dial, positioned a short distance above the first, openings matching the exact proportions of the hour markers — with a central aperture aligned with the index beneath and two lateral cut-outs reproducing its full geometry — have been laser-cut, revealing the luminous elements below. The date aperture and minute markers are produced using the same technique.
The effect is twofold: the infinitesimal space between the two levels creates a subtle impression of depth, while the interplay of light and shadow — perceptible both in daylight and in low-visibility conditions — enhances the dial’s presence without ever compromising legibility. With its sandblasted finish, it retains its full functional character, while inviting the eye to return — much like one watches the surface of the ocean, knowing that what matters most lies beneath.
