Today it may seem that all heritage brands are reissuing modern versions of their more successful vintage pieces, though this piece comes from a time when this notion was still novel, and allowed for creative liberties. In 2002, Doxa introduced their first re-issue limited edition timepiece of their iconic Sub 300T model with an orange dial, though, this re-issue was really more of a reimagining of the classic model as it featured a much longer and even more robust case that curves to hug the wrist. The reference for this model is 30010, however, it's most commonly referred to as the Doxa Sub 300T '2002'. Two versions of the watch were created, 1000 of each model which were individually numbered, so 2000 total, and they both featured the bright orange dial. The only difference between the two was the printing on the dials, the more classic "Professional" version like the one presented here, and a "Seahunter" version which also featured a diver motif on the dial. While there were 2000 of the ref. 30010 created, we almost never see this watch come up for sale on the open market.
