Buy Dr.Millers History of the Doxa book as a reference....it is the best Doxa book out there...this particular Army diver and I quote Dr.Miller:"one watch that definitely shows that it's pedigree is a SUB300T is the Doxa Army watch.Almost nothing is known about this watch and it has only been seen in an advert"...he goes on to say"the hands,dial and bezel bear no resemblance to the traditional sub design,the case and crown are classic vintage sub"...so I would have to say this example for sale is a grail for any Doxa fan.
...further discussion on the Doxa forum reveals the Swiss Army divers were issued between 1969-1979 to Military.
..dive watches from that era were real tool divers,so imo they were on target with their dial designs,I believe dive watches have taken a step back recently because of all the desk divers that have been popping up over the past few years that are mass produced with little thought behind the designs.
