Doxa Watches You’ve Never Seen Before
So you love your Doxa SUB, or you picked up a Doxa Aquaman from KeepTheTime to hold you over until you can get a SUB on your wrist. But what about all those other Doxa models that are mysteriously non-existent in the United States? You tried searching for “Doxa” in all of the search engines but all of the results just point to the U.S. Doxa site that sells only dive watches and one single chronograph racing watch (Ultraspeed).
- To find the non-U.S. Doxa watches, go to http://doxa.ch
- Check KeepTheTime’s current Doxa inventory
- Watch Doxa watch videos
We have no idea why the distribution is set up the way it is, and cannot understand why the company hides their other models from U.S. customers. While in Basel this year, KeepTheTime captured pics of as many Doxa watches as we could so that you could see that the brand is actually quite diverse and has a lot more to offer than dive watches. Enjoy!
