This watch is absolutely like brand new! It is the Limited Edition Clive Cussler (566/3000) model from 2004. The case is 44mm including crown and the band is 20mm. Slightly and lovingly worn and cared for. I have about a dozen watches and switch them out all the time. It is fitted for about an 8" wrist. It comes in a great case with a link adjusting screwdriver, polishing cloth and S/N card from Doxa. You will absolutely love this watch. More info below.In late November, 2003, Doxa released a new generation of orange dialed SUB watches. The SUB 600T. Both the reissue SUB 300T Professional and Seahunter were sold out and it was unthinkable that the company which quite literally invented the genre hadn't an orange watch for sale. Like the SUB 300T before it, the 600T is in honour of Dr. Clive Cussler, whose fictional hero, Dirk Pitt, wore an Orange Dial Doxa in 17 novels. Rather than just increase the depth rating on the reissue 300T, Doxa sat down and redesigned the case and bracelet. They listened to their customer feedback and came up with a watch and bracelet that was almost a mirror image of the original SUB 300T Professional from thirty years ago. For the new SUB 600T, the orange dial has the same colour code as the original sixties dial. The first thing that strikes you when you open the box is that the 600T is somewhat brighter and more vibrant than the SUB 300T reissue. This is in part, because of the colour of the dial and the fact that the luminous mass of the markers and hands of the new SUB 600T are the same as those of an aged vintage SUB. Also the 3mm thick sapphire crystal on the 600T is slightly domed and enhances the appearance of the dial and overall the whole watch is more polished. One small change on the 600T that few people would immediately notice is that the small writing around the 6 o'clock position on the dial has changed from T Swiss Made T to just Swiss Made. Originally the SUB models were 300, 600 etc without the T. When Doxa started using Tritium as the luminous material on the hands and dial they revised the name to 300T, 600T etc. Recent US and EC regulations will put a ban on importing watches with Tritium coating in the near future, so the latest SUBs use Super Luminova. The T in 600T now stands for Taucher which is the German word for Diver.The movement is the 25 Jewel ETA 2824-2 which is a hacking, self-winding mechanical movement with 28,800 bph and 42 hours of power reserve and incorporates an Incabloc Anti-Shock protection system. It has been modified and decorated by DOXA. The date is quickset and hence easy to adjust.
