Clive Cussler's 94th Birthday Celebrated Through the Launch of the Slimmer SUB 750T Revival by DOXA
In honour of the late American novelist and explorer Clive Cussler, Swiss watchmaker Doxa has released the third instalment in its tribute series — the SUB 750T Clive Cussler Limited Edition watch. The watch, unveiled to mark what would have been Cussler's 94th birthday in July 2025, follows the footsteps of previous editions such as the SUB 300T Clive Cussler and the stealthy SUB 300T Sharkhunter Clive Cussler.
Clive Cussler, renowned for his adventurous novels and the founding of the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), left an indelible mark on popular culture. His novels often featured characters wearing Doxa watches, symbolising a deep connection between Cussler and the watchmaker.
The SUB 750T Clive Cussler watch is a testament to Cussler's maritime adventures and exploration legacy. The watch boasts several significant updates that enhance its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
One of the most notable changes is the redesigned case, which is now 2mm thinner at 11.95mm, making it more comfortable to wear while maintaining professional-grade durability. The watch is powered by a Swiss automatic mechanical movement, the Sellita SW300, offering a 56-hour power reserve and operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour.
The dial of the watch is a vibrant "Professional" Orange, a nod to Cussler's character Dirk Pitt, who wore a distinctive orange-dialed Doxa watch in his novels. The dial also features the NUMA logo, emphasising Cussler's connection to maritime exploration. The watch includes luminous hour markers and a date window at 3 o'clock.
The solid screw-in caseback features an engraved compass rose, symbolising Cussler's themes of adventure and exploration. The watch is water-resistant to 750 meters (2,460 feet), making it suitable for deep diving. The watch comes with a stainless steel "beads of rice" bracelet and an orange NATO strap with a central black stripe, offering versatility in style.
The SUB 750T Clive Cussler is limited to 94 pieces, a nod to Cussler's would-be 94th birthday. The watch is priced at CHF 2,690, EUR 2,890, or USD 2,990. A portion of the proceeds will support NUMA's ongoing missions to preserve maritime heritage.
The new SUB 750T Clive Cussler edition is available exclusively through Doxa's website, and it is a must-have for any watch enthusiast who appreciates the spirit of adventure and exploration embodied by Clive Cussler.
The SUB 750T Clive Cussler watch showcases a blend of style and technology, reflecting the adventurous flair of the legendary explorer Clive Cussler.
