From the pioneering days of ocean exploration to today's conservation efforts, sea turtles have captivated divers and marine enthusiasts alike.

Ocean Inspired, Swiss Engineered
The Silent Language That Connects Worlds
Sea turtles have navigated Earth's oceans for over 100 million years, making them living witnesses to our planet's evolutionary journey. The DOXA Aquamarine Reef Turtle draws inspiration from these ancient mariners and the golden age of ocean exploration in the 1960s and '70s, when diving watches transitioned from specialized military equipment to tools for civilian adventurers.
The hand-painted artwork celebrates that special moment when a diver encounters a sea turtle in its natural habitat – a fleeting connection between two worlds. The diver's hand signal represents the silent language developed for underwater communication, a crucial skill during the pioneering days of recreational diving when Jacques Cousteau and his team (who famously wore DOXA watches) brought the wonders of the ocean into living rooms worldwide through their groundbreaking documentaries.
Each artist invests hours in creating these miniature underwater scenes, applying their craft to a canvas measuring just 30mm in diameter. The result is a remarkable fusion of artistic expression and technical precision that tells a story with every glance at your wrist.
Creative Expression, Technical Excellence
The DOXA Aquamarine Reef Turtle represents a seamless marriage between Swiss watchmaking tradition and contemporary artistic innovation. Each watch begins as a precision-engineered DOXA SUB 200 – a timepiece that carries the DNA of the brand's revolutionary diving heritage. Certified watchmakers disassemble and prepare these watches before they become canvases for our skilled artists.
The technical specifications remain unchanged from the professional-grade SUB 200, ensuring that these art pieces maintain their functionality as authentic diving instruments. The sapphire crystal with its distinctive vintage-inspired dome protects the artwork while the unidirectional bezel and luminescent markers preserve the essential safety features required for underwater use.
