With a rich history dating back to 1889, DOXA, best known for their solid and reliable dive watches, were the first watch brand to produce a dedicated and affordable professional diving watch for the wider public. During the 1960's they became the "official watches" of the Swiss Army's Elite Diver's Unit with SUB 300T Professional watches being worn on the wrists of elite diver's during active duty. This trusted partnership between the Swiss Army and DOXA led to the introduction of the aptly named "Army" in 1968.
