Doxa, baby, what is you doin’?

I love Doxa. I own some. They’ve had some nice releases the last few years. Heck, that Clive Cussler Special Edition was pretty cool and fitting for the brand.

But this? I don’t know about this.

I don’t personally like it. Just my opinion. What do you Doxa fans think at $6,950?

Looks super cool. Black and gold are a really good combination. But the pricing is ridiculous, especially considering it is a PVD instead of DLC at that price point. And for sure there is no extra $4000 worth of gold in that watch. Also, they could have just gotten rid of the date window. The colour matching is nice but it is unreadable so is the bezel insert marking. Black on black 🙄

The dial reminds me of the rubberising paint used on bakkies (NAmEng: "trucks" BrEng: "pickup-trucks" AusEng: "utes")

They could have added a little more gold for contrast. Gold paint to the dial text, sector lines, date and the bezel numbers. Would have rounded it out better.

I like it for the price of their carbon case not 6k. A gold bezel dosent merit that much more in my eyes. Especially if that’s it! Plus the carbon case has an in-house cosc movement. Not saying we know the capabilities of the in-house movement but atleast we know this the 3k price tag we are paying for R and D.

I can't even read the text on the dial from any angel from all the photos I have seen of this watch. Gold text would have definitely made the watch look better 💯

Agree either drop the date window entirely or colour match the indices in some way. Does look a bit like they forgot about 3 o'clock!

But I do really like it nonetheless

Exactly! 😄

Why it says 7250 eur but 6950 usd? Doesnt make sense.

Omg I didn't even notice the date window😂

Huge nope for me.

Generally speaking for mots of the novelties, we can always speculate that any brand will apply the famous downsizing trend. Even possible return to pieces geared to feminine wrists.

(No, your wrist isn't small, it's average) For the “connaisseurs”, a possible return of the 750t range in its Gmt version, would have made some noise.

Following the CEO, Jan Edocs, on social networks, I can't help but make the following analogy: this piece is aimed at brand novices located mainly in the Middle East. Or for those for whom the carbon version, or the Doxa color range, isn't flashy enough.

Speaking subjectively: the design has its limits. Too dark, not enough contrast, why isn't the date in gold to balance the frame, why keep the date?

Living in Geneva, should I go and tell them ? 😂
