Doxa SUB 200 T.GRAPH II: The 1969 Dive-Chronograph Icon Returns as a Permanent, Slimmer Series

Doxa revives one of its rarest watches, the 1969 T.GRAPH dive-chronograph, as the SUB 200 T.GRAPH II. Now slimmer at 42 mm x 14.6 mm and offered as a non-limited collection in four classic colourways (including Caribbean blue for the first time), it runs a Sellita SW510 automatic chronograph with 200 m water resistance, from USD 4,250.

Description

Doxa has revived one of the rarest and most coveted watches in its history: the T.GRAPH, the dive-chronograph it first launched in 1969. The new SUB 200 T.GRAPH II keeps everything that makes a Doxa instantly recognisable — the cushion/tonneau case with broad shoulders, the no-decompression dive bezel and the high-contrast signature dials — while adding a mechanical chronograph. The brand has always insisted the T.GRAPH is a dive watch first and a chronograph second, and the II honours that philosophy.

The most important change is strategic rather than technical: where the 1969 original was made in tiny numbers and the modern T.GRAPH arrived as a limited edition, the SUB 200 T.GRAPH II returns as a permanent, non-limited collection. It launches across Doxa's classic colour codes — Professional (orange), Sharkhunter (black), Searambler (silver) and Caribbean (dark blue) — the Caribbean blue joining the T.GRAPH family for the first time.

Announced on 15 June 2026 and reaching retailers later in the month, it is priced from USD 4,250, positioning it as an attainable Swiss automatic dive-chronograph with genuine vintage-diving pedigree.

Design

The II trims the modern T.GRAPH's proportions from roughly 43 mm × 15.15 mm down to 42 mm × 14.6 mm, with a compact 44.5 mm lug-to-lug that lets it sit comfortably even on smaller wrists. The tonneau-inspired 316L stainless-steel case retains the broad shoulders and the unmistakable Doxa diving bezel, here with the no-decompression and 60-minute scales. A box-style sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment sits over the dial, the crown screws down and the steel caseback screws in.

On the dial, the classic T.GRAPH layout is back: running seconds and a 30-minute chronograph counter in contrasting sub-dials, a date window at 6 o'clock, and the bright, legible Doxa colourways that have defined the brand's divers since the 1960s. The result is a watch that reads as pure Doxa at a glance, chronograph or not.

What's Exciting

The 1969 T.GRAPH is genuine cult metal — one of the earliest purpose-built dive-chronographs, made in such small numbers that originals are holy-grail pieces for Doxa collectors. Reviving it as a non-limited series, rather than another 100-piece wall, is exactly the right call: it democratises an icon instead of locking it away. Shaving a millimetre off both diameter and thickness solves the one real complaint about the modern T.GRAPH, and adding the Caribbean blue dial gives the line a colour it has never had.

The Sellita SW510 is a no-drama, fully serviceable workhorse that keeps the price honest for a Swiss automatic dive-chronograph. This isn't a complication flex — it's a faithful, wearable revival of a true icon, and one of the more characterful tool chronographs of the season.

History

Doxa built its modern reputation on the 1967 SUB 300, the orange-dialled, no-decompression-bezel diver that became a tool-watch legend. Two years later, in 1969, the brand added a chronograph to that formula to create the original T.GRAPH — a dive-chronograph produced in tiny quantities and now among the most sought-after vintage Doxas. The modern era saw a limited-edition revival of the T.GRAPH, but supply was always tight.

The SUB 200 T.GRAPH II is the model's most accessible incarnation yet: slimmer, slightly smaller, offered across the full set of Doxa's heritage colourways, and — for the first time — sold as a standard, non-limited part of the catalogue. It is a deliberate move to put a piece of Doxa's chronograph history on more wrists.
