The Doxa Sub 200 C-Graph II Caribbean is a refined, slightly downsized take on Doxa’s well-known chronograph lineup. With a 42mm case, bold dial styling, and reliable Swiss movement, this diver-focused chronograph offers a mix of ruggedness and vintage appeal.
Case & Dial
At 42mm, the Doxa Sub 200 C-Graph II Caribbean is slightly more compact than its predecessor, making it more wearable without sacrificing legibility. The case is stainless steel with a screw-down crown and pushers, ensuring a solid 200 meters of water resistance. The unidirectional bezel is classic Doxa, with a fully graduated dive scale and a lumed pip for easy underwater reading.
The Caribbean edition features a striking deep blue sunray dial, complemented by high-contrast subdials. The hands retain Doxa’s signature broad, square-ended design, and the chronograph seconds hand carries the same squared motif. Lume performance is strong, with bright Super-LumiNova applied to the hands, hour markers, and bezel. While the omission of a date window may disappoint some, it keeps the dial clean and balanced.
Movement & Performance
Inside, the watch runs on the Sellita SW 510 automatic chronograph movement. This Swiss-made, cam-operated chronograph offers a 62-hour power reserve, hacking seconds, and a smooth operation. The movement is a proven workhorse, ensuring reliability and longevity.
Strap Options & Wearability
Doxa offers the Sub 200 C-Graph II on either a rubber strap or a beads-of-rice bracelet. The rubber strap is soft and comfortable, while the bracelet provides a more traditional, retro dive-watch look. The case’s compact dimensions and curved lugs make it easy to wear, even on smaller wrists.
Pricing & Final Thoughts
At $2,995, the Sub 200 C-Graph II Caribbean is priced competitively within the luxury dive chronograph segment. It offers classic Doxa styling, solid build quality, and a reliable Swiss movement. While the lack of a date function may be a downside for some, the watch makes up for it with a more streamlined design and excellent wearability.
For Doxa fans and collectors looking for a well-sized, capable chronograph, the Sub 200 C-Graph II Caribbean is a strong choice.
