It‘s been a grueling week again, spent traveling, with 18-20 hour days. Still there were some small perks, like the Doxa 300 Searambler. And a handful of pictures I could make. 

So that’s my choice for the ‘weekend cannot come soon enough TGIF’ - how about you?

And bonus points for guessing the plane in the background 👍🏻




About the Doxa Ref. Sub300

The Doxa SUB 300 is a notable offering within the brand's collection, distinguished by its relatively slender profile compared to some of its counterparts. This reference is recognized for its adherence to chronometer standards, indicated by its COSC certification, which assures a high degree of timekeeping precision. It represents a contemporary interpretation that balances historical design cues with modern horological requirements.

This particular SUB 300 model features a stainless steel case, typically measuring around 42.5mm in diameter, though its design contributes to a perception of reduced thickness on the wrist. It is powered by an automatic movement, often a variant of the ETA 2824-2, which provides a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, enhancing its durability and scratch resistance, and offers a water resistance rating suitable for its intended use.

For collectors, the SUB 300 appeals to those seeking a robust and precise tool watch with a distinct aesthetic. Its COSC certification adds a layer of technical appeal, positioning it as a reliable performer. The design, while contemporary, maintains a clear lineage to Doxa's heritage, making it a relevant piece for enthusiasts interested in the brand's evolution and its commitment to certified accuracy.

MiG 15? . . .

. . . unfortunately, I'm not at my home computer, so no access to my files, but as usual I'm wearing a vintage Omega. Fresh pic later today, that's a promise ;-) . . .

Thanks a lot, Art - looking forward to it!

And while the era is correct, it’s a different plane 😊

SAAB 29, maybe? . . .

. . . no guessing about this one, though. Like shooting fish in a barrel, no? ;-)

Fantastic watch...

And yes, the Saab J29 Tunnan. AFAIK the only Swedish Air force plane to ever fire shots in anger (UN mission in Congo). Austria was the only foreign operator 😊 Next beer on me 👍🏻
