DOXA marks two milestones with the SUB 750T Clive Cussler edition: the 20th anniversary of Sahara’s film release and what would have been the famed novelist’s 94th birthday. It’s the third tribute to the man whose swashbuckling tales brought DOXA’s dive watches to the wrists of fictional hero Dirk Pitt, and onto the big screen with Matthew McConaughey in 2005. Cussler, a best-selling author with over 100 million books sold and the founder of NUMA, blurred the lines between fiction and real-life exploration, much like DOXA itself. The SUB’s bold orange dial became an emblem of Pitt’s adventures, and this new edition keeps that legacy alive.
The SUB 750T Clive Cussler pares down the familiar 45mm case to a leaner 11.95mm profile, improving comfort without compromising tool-watch grit. There’s the hallmark orange dial, a discreet NUMA logo at 7:30, and a date display with subtle orange highlights. Legibility remains paramount, with Super-LumiNova® on the bezel, hands, and indexes, because a true dive watch never forgets its purpose. Water-resistant to 750 meters, it’s still a serious professional-grade instrument. Only 94 numbered pieces will be made, a nod to Cussler’s 94th birthday.
Flip the watch over, and a finely engraved compass rose speaks to the eternal lure of discovery, a theme that drove both Cussler’s novels and his real-world maritime quests. Beneath the steel beats a Swiss automatic movement with a 56-hour reserve, as reliable on land as it is below the waves. A portion of the proceeds goes to NUMA, keeping alive the mission to preserve maritime history. DOXA reaffirms its adventurous DNA while tipping its hat to the man who made the SUB an icon of fiction and reality alike.
